Each series is set in a different period of British history, beginning in 1485 and ending in 1945, and comprises six half-hour episodes. Blackadder follows the misfortunes of Edmund Blackadder, who in each series is a member of the same British family dynasty. It is implied in each series that the Blackadder character is a descendant of the previous one (the end theme lyrics of series 2 episode "Head" specify that he is the great-grandson of the previous), although it is never specified how or when any of the Blackadders (who are usually bachelors) managed to father children
