Synopsis:

The ill-advised 1999 reunion special of celebrated BBC historical comedy Blackadder was never very funny but the time-travel plot was a hoot. So what if all the jokes were cut? Would it make the plot stronger and also would it become oddly funnier? The time-travel consecution seemed the ideal way to find out!


Intentions:

To remove all "jokes" but not necessarily the humour inherent in the time-travel concept. Also Baldrick is no longer the stupidest creature ever born but now is genuinely a genius who has built a time-machine.


Change List:

- All jokes removed - Old-style BBC logo added - Opening and closing credits replaced with vintage Universal-Studious style credits inspired by and featuring music from 'The Creature From The Black Lagoon' - Edit given a monochrome sepia tint and filmic-grain - Robin Hood subplot and all references to it removed from the start, the middle and the end (It was so silly it was impossible to de-comedyify it) - Removed any reference to Baldrick being stupid.
