What Season 2 of Blackadder
The season opens with Lord Edmund Blackadder, who has inherited the "special" genes of his dynasty and has his servant Baldrick. His only goal is to show off his large head and sparse beard across the country to win the favor of the increasingly unhinged Queen Bess. Trouble comes quickly. He is drawn to Bob, who turns out to be Kate, and decides to marry her. Then he is named Lord Executioner and must speed up the execution of Lord Farrow, which the queen wants to prevent. On top of this, a Bishop of Bath & Wells demands a debt of 1,000 pounds, under threat of death, and his puritan aunts come to visit.
