> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by pugluvr \* > \*\*I must post a disagreement with the idea that the first series isn’t up to snuff. The very first show of all, with Peter Cooke as Richard III, is my very favorite episode of any Black Adder series. \*\* I always thought Henry Tudor would be better looking… **loves the first series too** 😉 ---

I have them on video, including the hard-to-find “back and forth” ep. Is there any difference between the DVD’s and the Videos? ---

Are you a member of Netflix? It’s worth the $20 a month fee just to be able to rent things to see if you want to buy them. After watching the second season of “Buffy” via Netflix, I bought it. Ditto “Black Adder.” ---
