It is 1917, and lunatic General Sir Anthony Cecil
Hogmanay Melchett is leading the British troops at the front lines
against the Germans, while everyone waits for Field Marshall Haig’s big
push. There are various emotions throughout the camp about it. For
Captain Kevin Darling, Melchett’s bull-dog-like right-hand man, it makes
no difference, as it appears he will be safe and sound with the general
when the big push occurs. For Lieutenant George Colhurst Saint
Barleigh, he is overly excited at thrashing the Germans. For Private S.
(probably for Sod-Off) Baldrick, it’s a terrifying experience he is not
looking forward to. For Captain Edmund Blackadder, however, it’s
something he’s too cowardly too face. Self-centered, arrogant, and
sarcastic, Blackadder is always constantly searching for a way out of
this silly war, and will try various, often crazy, variations on escape,
all of which will take a turn he never expected. Sharing a dugout with
George and Baldrick, his main obstacle for escape is Darling, who will
ensure everyone is present for the big push. In this series, Captain
Edmond Blackadder is an intelligent, self-centered officer in the
trenches of World War I, whose aim is to survive til the war is over. He
is assisted by the eager but stupid Lt. George Colthurst and the
moronic, grungy Private Baldrick. Blackadder’s commander is the insane
General Melchert, who is assisted by Blackadder’s rival Captain Darling.
