<p>Richard Curtis' and Ben Elton's award-winning comedy in which Rowan Atkinson as the ubiquitous Blackadder, ably hampered by Tony Robinson as the loyal Baldrick, wreaks havoc throughout the centuries. Hugh Laurie, Stephen Fry, Robbie Coltrane, Rik Mayall and Miranda Richardson are some of the guest stars joining in the fun. In Blackadder the Third, the fortunes of the family have plummeted rather with Blackadder employed as butler to the Prince Regent. With such an imbecilic Lord and master, however, there's plenty of scope for deviousness and manipulation.</p>

The Lord of the Rings

A dramatization of Tolkien's celebrated fantasy. Sauron, the Dark Lord, has gathered to him the Rings of Power - the means by which he will be able to rule the world. All he lacks in his plan for domination is the Ruling Ring, which has fallen into the hands of the hobbit, Frodo Baggins.

Goon but not forgotten. From 1951 to 1960 the Goons ruled the airwaves, the most celebrated and influential clowns in the history of radio. Join Inspector Seagoon in the amazing hunt for a missing piece of string or journey with nude Ned the Piano Dancer on the trail of sennapod smugglers in South America. But keep your knees covered in case of the Spon Plague and don't climb a mountain when mountain-eater Eccles (or Leonardo da Vinci) is around. Yes folks, it's another crazy quartet of cult comedy classics - The String Robberies, The White Neddie Trade, The Spon Plague and The Mountain Eaters. The wide and wonderful world of Goonery knows no bounds. GO ON - spoil yourself. 2 CDs. 2 hrs 1 min.
