Blackadder's Christmas Carol

Dir: Richard Boden

1988

****

Charles Dickins' A Christmas Carol has been done to death, it's far too easy (and far too lazy) for TV series', characters, cartoons etc to produce their own versions. It has now got to a point that I think it should be legally banned. However, this version is easily one of the best, most original and certainly one of the funniest ever made. If you're going to spoof a classic, then this is how you go about it. A must for Blackadder fans obviously but also a great antidote for all the horrible Christmas films and TV programs out there.
