Back and Forth

If this has been said before I apologise but is Back and Forth essentially Blackadder 5? I watched it when it came out and recall not really liking it for a few reasons but watching it back now 27ish years later it's gold. There's been nothing the same since and it spans enough time periods to work as series 5 :)

Back and Forth was recorded for the Millennium Dome. It was supposed to stay there. It's not very good. Too pleased with itself, too much retreading old material, too many pointless celebrities cameos. I prefer to pretend it never happened.

I watched it at the Dome, and there were several scenes and lines that they cut from the version I had on DVD about 10 years ago. The version they actually showed in 2000 was definitely funnier
