LBzura Review of Blackadder II

Blackadder II (1986)

Question as to Episode Order - Still, Though, one of the world's greatest comedies

[10/10 · 6 November 2007]

I regularly watch all of the Blackadder series and specials, and have been a rabid fan for many years. One thing has always bothered me about the accepted episode order for the second series. It seems as though it is generally accepted that "Bells" is the series first episode, however, given the fact that Lord Percy shaves his beard upon learning of the infidelities of his "beloved," at the hands of both Blackadder and Baldrick, while this same beard appears throughout the entirety of the accepted second episode, "Head." It always seemed to me that "Head" was probably meant to be the first episode. Just a fanatic's lunatic ravings, I guess. But I do so love this series.
