Blackadder's Christmas Carol

Blackadder's Christmas Carol, released in 1988 and starring Rowan Atkinson as our eponymous hero, is yet another version of Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. In this version though, rather than a wretched misanthropic miser, Blackadder, in the Scrooge role, is the kindest and loveliest man in the kingdom.

His benevolent character starts the film being fleeced by the townsfolk who take wanton advantage of his generosity by relieving him of both his money and seasonal gifts. Queue the ghost (Robbie Coltrane aka Hagrid from the Harry Potter films) who takes Mr Nicey Blackadder back through time to see how marvellously his ancestors had done when being truly vile and horrid. Come the morning, Blackadder is a changed man – a cynic and a stasher of the very highest order.
