This series of "BlackAdder" follows the antics of Lord BlackAdder, friend to Queenie (Queen Elizabeth I), Lord Percy, their servant Baldrick, Queenie herself, her mad nurse, Nursie, and Lord Melchett.
In the first episode, "Bells", BlackAdder hires a new servant, Bob, whom he begins to rather fancy. Worried at this, he visits the doctor, who can only suggest leeches. It is later revealed to BlackAdder, although the viewers knew all along, that Bob is in fact a girl in disguise. Her name is Kate. This episode, and the episode "Money", still have the medieval feel to it that made me dislike the first series, but the rest of the episodes have a more cheery Elizabethan feel to it.
What happens at the end, I hear you cry? To cut a long story short, BlackAdder and Melchett are kidnapped by the evil Prince Ludwig (Shorty Greasy Spot Spot). They escape and appear to kill him at the end. Unfortunately, this is not the case, and after the credits, he comes back to wreak his terrible rewenge.
