Series 1
1 :01x01 - The Foretelling (Jun/15/1983)
This is where is all begins; not only for the series, but also the entire legend that is 'Blackadder'.

It's the first battle of Edmund's post-pubescent years, and he has nearly missed it! But luckily for him, he makes it in time to have an impact on the outcome of the day; indeed an impact that will continue to haunt him. Furthermore, his self-perceived diabolical cunning leads him to new found nomenclature.
