One of Britain's finest comedies, each episode of Blackadder features Rowan Atkinson ("Mr. Bean") playing various versions of the conniving, buffoonish Edmund Blackadder throughout the ages. In "Back and Forth", the latest heir to the title gathers his friends to celebrate New Year's on December 31, 1999—only to reveal a time machine and a fiendish, hilarious plan to change history. Also stars Stephen Fry, Hugh Laurie, Miranda Richardson, and Tim McInnerny. 63 min. DVD extras include "Baldrick's Diary", a behind-the-scenes documentary featuring unaired scenes.
