Hi!
This is Emanuela from Italy. I'm writing my MA thesis about Blackadder, and I need to ask some questions to a group of British people who saw the series. Would anyone mind taking part to this poll?
Thanks!

1- When did you see Blackadder for the first time? Which series was it? Did you watch all episodes? If not, was it difficult for you to understand what the series was about?
2- Have you watched all four series? If not, name those you have seen.
3- After seeing a series for the first time, did you happen to see it again? If yes, did you enjoy it, or was it less funny? If not, would you like to see any episodes again?
4- Have you ever seen any of the "extra episodes" (Blackadder's Christmas Carol, The Cavalier Years, Blackadder Back and Forth)? Name the one(s) you have seen, say if it/they matched your expectations about Blackadder, and explain briefly why.

- Blackadder II :
- Blackadder the Third :

6- Choose one of your favourite episodes, or one that you remember well: what did you particularly enjoy, the plot, any character involved apart from the main ones (i.e. Blackadder, Baldrick, Percy, Queenie,...), the jokes, any gag, or what else?
7- Which is your favourite character? Justify your answer briefly.

9- Would you like to see another series done? If yes, which era would you choose? If no, say why.
