The action starts on New Years Eve 1999 at a dinner party given by Edmund
Blackadder to some familiar old friends.
Blackadder and Baldrick accidentally set off on a chaotic journey
through time in Baldrick's home-made copy of a Leonardo Da Vinci time
machine - built as a ruse and never expected to actually work!
And with Baldrick's controls, typyically unworkable, the duo find
themselves lost in time- visiting random moments through British history,
and creating chaos everywhere - as they try to get home for the millennium. Further
