      IMO, it was Ben Elton that made the difference for season 2+. The jokes in season 1 are, in the main, too obvious. The Queen of Spain’s Beard and The Witchsmeller Pursuivant are the Season 1 standouts, not least because of the quality of the guest appearances. “Oh Edmund my love” and “Again, please!” are great lines tho’.

    It's basically said in the video description. Blackadder (Rowan Atkinson) doesn't want to marry the Spanish princess because she's fat, small and ugly and he's trying to find any possible way to avoid the wedding. He realises that for the marriage to be valid she has to be a virgin, so he sends his servant Baldrick to take care of that. Because it's dark in the room she wouldn't recongnize Baldrick and mistakes him for Blackadder.

    The 1st season was good, but 2-4 were way better. Ben Elton replaced Rowan as a writer for 2 and changing Blackadder into the clever one and Balderick into the idiot worked better. Also I think bringing back Rowan Tim and Tony worked and bringing in Miranda Richardson, Stephen Fry and Patsy Burne as new characters worked well and Hugh Laurie for 3 and 4.

      Nonsense. The first series of Blackadder is widely regarded as the funniest and best written of all of the program's run as it was fresh and innovative. The following series, whilst still being funny suffered from the same problem most successful tv shows are infected with, namely repetitive format and jokes. Not to mention that the 2 legends, Peter Cook and Prince Vultan Blessed elevated the first series far beyond the others.
