The Black Adder: 5: Witchsmeller Pursuivant

on BBC One London

by Richard Curtis and Rowan Atkinson.
Rowan Atkinson is The Black Adder. Also starring Brian Blessed as Richard IV with Elspet Gray (Queen), Robert East (Prince of Wales), Tony Robinson (Baldrick) and Tim Mclnnerny (Percy).

The King is a bit under the weather with the Black Death. Witchcraft is diagnosed, and only one man can root it out.
Frank Finlay stars as the repulsive Witchsmeller - cruel, corrupt and egg-stained. Has The Black Adder finally found a friend?
"Mon dieu what a scorcher." (Joan of Ark)
