The Blackadder Audiobook (Free)

Through the ages, men of flair, faculty and outstanding courage have contributed with their country’s heritage. Others, like the snivelling worm Edmund, Duke of Edinburgh (alias ‘The Dark Adder’), have emerged from the dust of dodgy documents to state their wrongful place ever sold… This historic initial series launched us to Rowan Atkinson’s initial incarnation as Dark Adder – the incompetent, bitter and twisted son of Richard, Duke of York, who, with the help of his trusty (and equally stinky) aide, Baldrick (Tony Robinson), and Percy (Tim McInnerny) begins his slithering trip through the age groups, scheming for a less strenuous life, an improved position as well as perhaps a good shot at the throne itself. The initial series also stars Brian Blessed as Richard IV, Peter Cook as Richard III, Miriam Margolyes as the Infanta Maria of Spain and Rik Mayall as Mad Gerald. Episodes consist of: ‘The Foretelling’, ‘The Queen of Spain’s Beard’, ‘Born to Be King’, ‘Witchsmeller Pursuivant’, ‘Archbishop’ and ‘The Dark Seal’.
