  • The Black Adder is the first series of the BBC sitcom Blackadder, written by Richard Curtis and Rowan Atkinson, directed by Martin Shardlow and produced by John Lloyd. The series was originally aired on BBC 1 from 15 June 1983 to 20 July 1983, and was a joint production with the Australian Seven Network. Set in 1485 at the end of the British Middle Ages, the series is written as a secret history which contends that King Richard III won the Battle of Bosworth Field, only to be unintentionally assassinated by his nephew's son Edmund and succeeded by said nephew, Richard IV, one of the Princes in the Tower. The series follows the exploits of Richard IV's unfavoured second son Edmund (who calls himself "The Black Adder") in his various attempts to increase his standing with his father and, in the final episode, his quest to overthrow him. Conceived while Atkinson and Curtis were working on Not the Nine O'Clock News, the series presents medieval issues in Britain in a humorous and often anachronistic manner—witchcraft, royal succession, European relations, the Crusades and the conflict between the Crown and the Church. The filming of the series was ambitious, as it featured a large cast and required extensive location shooting. Shakespearean dialogue is sometimes adapted for comic effect. Despite winning an International Emmy, The Black Adder is regarded by its creators and most critics as the weakest Blackadder series. (en)

De serie speelt tegen het einde van de Engelse middeleeuwen, in een alternatieve geschiedenis waarin Hendrik VII van Engeland de Rozenoorlogen in eerste instantie verliest, waarop Richard Shrewsbury van York dertien jaar regeert als Richard IV. De hoofdpersoon in de serie is koning Richards ongeliefde en onhandige tweede zoon Edmund, the Black Adder. (nl)

  • The Black Adder är den första serien i BBC:s situationskomediserie Svarte Orm, skriven av Richard Curtis och Rowan Atkinson, regisserad av Martin Shardlow och producerad av John Lloyd. Serien sändes från början på BBC One från den 15 juni 1983 till den 20 juli 1983. Serien utspelas under 1485 vid slutet av den brittiska medeltiden, samtidigt som Richard III vinner slaget vid Bosworth Field, innan han blir oavsiktligt mördad, och efterträds av Richard IV. Serien följer Richard IV:s utstötte andre son Edmund, som kallar sig själv "Svarta Ormen" (på engelska "The Black Adder") i sina försök att få sin far att tycka om honom och i det sista avsnittet hans försök att själv bli konung. Serien innehåller en rad olika medeltida frågor i Storbritannien, i en humoristisk väg och ofta otidsenlig - häxkrafter, kungliga efterträdelser, europeiska relationer, korståg och konflikten mellan kronan och kyrkan. Filmningen av serien var väldigt ambitiös, med många skådespelare och mycket utomhusfilmning. Serien innehåller även dialog från William Shakespeare, ofta tillagt för komisk effekt. (sv)
