Blackadder Goes Forth

Written by the brilliant Richard Curtis and Ben Elton, Blackadder Goes Forth remains one of Britain's greatest comedy series - just as hilarious today as it was when it first aired in 1989. Set in the trenches of the First World War, this amateur production brings to life three classic episodes: Captain Cook, Major Star and the unforgettable Goodbyeee.

Expect cynical one-liners, outrageous misunderstandings and wonderfully eccentric characters that made the series legendary. Amid the mud, mayhem and absurdity of wartime, join the brilliantly scheming Captain Blackadder, the hopelessly dim—but fiercely loyal—Private Baldrick, the charmingly naïve Lieutenant George, the booming General Melchett, the wonderfully twitchy Captain Darling, the not-so-convincing "Bob", and, of course, the ever-busy Field Marshal Haig.

Hilarious, poignant and deeply moving, Blackadder Goes Forth remains a timeless tribute to the human spirit in the face of war.

The performance royalties from every production are donated to Comic Relief, now celebrating its 40th year, a charity Richard Curtis has championed from the very beginning.
