The 2nd Black Adder Christmas Special Lord Edmund LIVESReview created: 06/15/09

Bernard and the Genie (1991)(BBC-TV)
Available on VHS and Region 1 DVD
Rowan Atkinson is in this strange BBC-TV Christmas movie, but for only 5 or so scenes. But what scenes they are. Atkinson is truly in Blackadder territory as he plays the CEO of a large rare art sales firm. Every single word uttered, facial expression and body language movement by Atkinson is truly a throwback to the truly despicable Lord Edmund Blackadder from the Second Blackadder series "Blackadder II" (1986). Take a look at the DVD cover (not the vhs) here at ebay or Amazon and see if you don't agree.
Yes there are bits about christmas and a magical genie in this truly strange cobbled together mess, so don't think you are going to be enthralled with a warm-hearted christmas favourite, because you are most assuredly not.
See this movie for the 5 minutes of Rowan Atkinson RUINING the christmas of a loyal and true worker, his conniving plans ala Lord Edmund and his unfortunate comeuppance.
Ok. I rated this movie 5 STARS. That is for the Rowan Atkinson contributions, which I admit are essential to the plot, however sparse. Judge my review on on these terms only.
Get ye to a video shoppe posthase and have a short visit with the great Lord Edmund Blackadder.
