Rowan Atkinson is een Engelse komiek, acteur en schrijver, gevierd om zijn werk aan de satirische sketchcomedy-show 'Not The Nine O'Clock News' en de sitcoms 'Blackadder' en 'Mr. Bean'. Zijn komische stijl maakt meesterlijk gebruik van fysieke expressie en gezichtsnuances om gedenkwaardige personages te creëren. Atkinsons schrijfwerk en optredens verkennen vaak de absurditeiten van het dagelijks leven en maatschappelijke conventies, en tonen een unieke mix van scherpe humor en diepgaande karakterstudie.
Contemporary / British EnglishMr Bean doesnt understand the world. There are problems for him everywhere. In the restaurant, he doesnt like his food. He tries to hide it in very strange places. Then Mr Bean goes to the launderette. What happens? He loses his trousers, of course!
Then look no further. Blackadder: The Whole Damn Dynasty is the book for you. Here, at last, for the first time, are the full scripts of one of British television's funniest comedies. Follow the hilarious misadventures of the despicable Edmund Blackadder and his dimwitted sidekick Baldrick through four centuries of hopelessly mangled English history: from medieval nastiness through English history: from medieval nastiness through Elizabethan and Regency glory, to the mud and sauteed rats of the First World War. Aside from the ball-bouncingly funny scripts themselves, Blackadder also features special bonus sections: "Instruments of Torture in the Late Middle Ages"; "Medieval Medicine" ("1. Herbs; 2. Leeches; 3. Saw It Off"); and an indispensable "Index of Blackadder's Finest Insults".
A hilarious diary presents a zany chronicle of a year in the life of Mr. Bean, from his New Year's resolutions to the trials and tribulations of romance, poetry class, and run-ins with the local police. Original. 25,000 first printing. QPB.
