Set during the reign of Elizabeth I (Miranda Richardson), Blackadder II sees Edmund, Lord Blackadder as a member of the aristocracy, but still very much a scheming cynic, hindered by his servant Baldrick (Tony Robinson). For the second series, … Ben Elton replaced Atkinson as a writer, and filming was entirely studio based.
