Бен Элтон - все книги по циклам и сериям | Книги по порядку

For amiable City trader Jimmy Corby money was the new Rock n' Roll. His whole life was a party, adrenalin charged and cocaine fuelled. If he hadn't met Monica he would probably have ended up either dead or in rehab.

But Jimmy was as lucky in love as he was at betting on dodgy derivatives, so instead of burning out, his star just burned brighter than ever. Rich, pampered and successful, Jimmy, Monica and their friends lived the dream, bringing up their children with an army of domestic helps.

But then it all came crashing down. And when the global financial crisis hit, Jimmy discovers that anyone can handle success. It's how you handle failure that really matters.

Dickens' classic tale of kindness, truth and virtue is completely ruined by having a member of the Blackadder family involved. Ebenezer Blackadder is a decent, kind and generous human being - until he receives a visit from the Spirit of Christmas who shows him famous Blackadders from the Elizabethan and Regency period, along with his Space Age descendent who becomes Ruler of the Universe. Stuffed with deeply horrible people, and groaning with cartloads of seasonal bottom jokes, Blackadder's Christmas Carol manages to squeeze everything into a huge pie of entertainment which will satisfy everyone. And for second helpings, The Cavalier Years is set during the Civil War, in which Lord Edmund Blackadder tries to remain faithful to King Charles despite the fact that he's about to have his head cut off by bottom-breath Baldrick.

With a yah boo sucks to you, Fritzy, hot tiddly tumble, it's off to the Western Front in 1917. Captain Blackadder, hero of Mbot Gorge, joined the British Army when it was little more than a travel agency for gentlemen with an abnormally high sex drive. Now he finds himself crammed into a sewer, twenty yards from a lot of heavily armed people who want to kill him. Worse still, he takes his orders from two homicidal maniacs, one who called the Charge of the Light Brigade 'a victory for common sense' and the other called Darling. Ever ready with a cunning plan, Blackadder actively avoids duty by taking up art, shooting the General's favourite bird, probing the hospital nurse and learning to fly. But will his attempts to push off be enough when the Big Push comes? Rowan Atkinson stars as Captain Blackadder in Richard Curtis’ and Ben Elton’s award-winning comedy. This collection includes the following episodes: 'Captain Cook', 'Corporal Punishment', 'Major Star', 'Private Plane', 'General Hospital' and 'Goodbyeee'.
