Which Blackadder box set?

I need to free up some shelf space by buying a box set.

Which should I buy as there seems to be a number of reissues, remastered etc.?

I'm not entirely sure what the prices are like, but I would get this:

Product artwork - buy at Amazon
See Amazon product listing
[p=http://www.play.com/DVD/DVD/-/26/55/-/9230257/Blackadder-The-Ultimate-Collection/Product.html]
[h=951765]

Now for the downside. When producing this collection there are two very glaring mistakes that undermines the quality and impact of this boxset and it is this reason why I have given it four stars instead of five. Firstly episodes two, three and four in first series disc ('Born to be King', 'The Achbishop' and the 'Queen of Spain's beard') are placed in the wrong order. This is a very obvious flaw and makes the production of this boxset very amateurish indeed. One wonders how the BBC could make such an error after the hard work they had invested in making this DVD collection.

This true ?

:O

Flipping hell. I'd not seen that; but I wouldn't put it past them.
