The BBC Entertainment channel 120 on DStv will present Blackadder Goes Forth from January 19 at
22h00.
Many great men have played a part in shaping Britain's noble
heritage. Others have just ended up on the dungheap. Men like Edmund
Blackadder. The Western Front 1917. A world-weary Captain Blackadder, veteran
of numerous campaigns, suddenly finds himself in the trenches facing four
million German machine guns having joined the British Army when it was little
more than a travel agency for gentlemen with an abnormally high sex drive. He
is not a happy man. He’d be slightly happier if General Melchett's battle plans
were less suicidal and if Private Baldrick's cooking wasn't confined to rat.
The cast features Rowan Atkinson as Captain Edmund
Blackadder with Tony Robinson as Private S Baldrick; Stephen Fry as General
Melchett and Hugh Laurie as Lieutenant The Honourable George Colthurst St.
Barleigh.
