Programme Information

One of the best sitcoms to come out of the 1980s with E Blackadder Esq, butler to the Prince Regent in the late 18th century. The regent is low on cash, so Edmund sets out to find him a bride with a big dowry. A certain Amy Hardwood seems to fit the bill - but is she connected with squirrel-hating highwayman Dick Turpin?
