Rowan Atkinson is the comic villain Edmund Blackadder. "The foretelling": From out of the swirling mists of the Dark Ages comes a lone horseman with a most ridiculous haircut. It's the ghost of Richard III, back to haunt the hapless Prince Black Adder. "Born to be king": An orange-faced, kilt-clad Scotsman sends waves of shock through the court of England with his treachery, murder and Scottish dancing. "The Archbishop": The landscape is littered with dead Archbishops of Canterbury and Edmund the Reluctant is next in line for this rather precarious position.
