Full of great lines and moments, this Christmas Special provides a lovely novel take on the much adapted Charles Dickens tale, by having Blackadder go from nice guy to Scrooge.
It also allows the creative team through flashbacks to revisit some of the other incarnations of the miser throughout history, which leads to some nice results.
There's so much sharp writing in the episode, with every line for the most part being a winner.
I wasn't keen on the look into the future, I didn't find that overly funny, but on the whole this proved to be an enjoyable piece of comedy to watch over the festive period.
