It's those funny rhymes that mimic the opening and closing credits that amused me the most! This is great stuff, and you clearly have a flair for comedy - I don't, but I do enjoy reading humorous stories.

If I have any further criticism, it's that we could do with some description - the story is almost entirely dialogue. I tend to go the other way, but we do need both. Apart from that and the ones I gave you earlier, your place in *Take a look at this: the best humour fics* on my forum, Can We Talk? is assured!

This is brilliant and very funny. You have captured the essence of the comedy and the social dynamics of the characters. You even seem to have incorporated characters from earlier series in such a seamless manner that they fit - only people who know the fandom well can spot them! I was actually expecting Flash to show up at any moment...

It's been recommended on my forum in the best stories thread, and I agree - it is a cracking good read and deserving of the praise heaped upon it. I'm surprised you haven't got more reviews.

I've got a few niggles for you and I hope you don't mind my nitpicking. It's a thing I do for all of the writers whose stories I like, as a service to help them to polish their work so it shines even brighter.

Since they are repeating, I'll generalise. First of all, to use a verb to describe speech when it's not an action that makes a noise, such as nodding, is incorrect. I've corrected the sentence below for you, but there are others. It's just a thing to watch out for.

"Yes sir. Sorry sir.[,]" Baldrick nodded and got in.

Secondly, when someone is addressing someone else, the sentence in which they are speaking divides into fragments because there are two things going on. First, Bob is asking a question, and secondly, she is asking a specific person, the Captain. You need to put a comma or other divider to separate the fragments. Here's the correction:

"All set and comfy are we, sir?" Private 'Bob' Parker asked as she held her polishing rag and moved opposite the driver's seat.

Thirdly, it's an easy mistake to use contractions instead of pronouns. I have to check myself when writing because I often do it too. "Your" means "that which belongs to you," and "you're" is a contraction of "you are." The same mistake is often made with its/it's. Correction:

"Tally-ho, view-hallo and Bob's [you're] your uncle!" George cheered excitedly.

Next: this sentence simply doesn't make sense. I know what you're trying to do here, but it's not working:

George smiled as they drove through the countryside covered with fields and the odd horse or cow.

Corrected version - with added prose:

George smiled as they drove through the countryside, where the fields were laid out like patchwork before them. They could see the odd horse or cow grazing peacfully as they passed by.

Finally, watch out for Americanisms. Blackadder is a British fandom, so it's best to use British words and slang if your aim is to be authentic. We say "rubbish" rather than "garbage," for example. I'm happy to advise on current British slang, and there are websites where you can find some words and phrases specific to the period you're describing if you want to. Horrible Histories' Frightful First World War should provide you with detail you can use if you want to give us a realistic picture of the privations and squalour of WW1. Correction:

[garbage] rubbish tip diving

The images in that part really made me laugh - it's a testament to your undoubted talent as a writer. I'm nitpicking here, but it's a well-written canon-friendly tale and I'm thoroughly enjoying it.

Since this review is intended as a catch-all, I'll leave further criticism till you ask me for it, and just enjoy the story. It really is excellent. :D

Added to my favourites.

Great amusing tale! Lol! I hope you write some more!

Great job, that was awesome!

I have to give you credit; not many people can write a scene of a car crashing through a nun's convent and making off with their laundry. I'll be saying several "Hail Marys" to ward away to lightning from you. _~

Darling ate sausage made from a rat? *snickers before he bursts into laughter* So, does it taste like chicken?

Darling: Shut up, shut up, SHUT UP!

And Baldrick in the front wheel? Can't say I'm sorry, especially since when he's behind any type of aircraft or vehicle, it leads to disastrous and hilarious results. Too bad Melchett's car took the brunt of it, although I personally think Baldrick could charge rides. Hey, roller coasters are popular nowadays. )

Ah, Darling, enjoy finding the wireless. Or what's left of it. Excellent Blackadder short-story, Cold Fusionn! I'm only sorry that it took so long to get around to reviewing. )

Wow, remind me to take a try at wheelbarrow races; it sounds like fun, although not as much fun as seeing Darling being driven around the bend. _

Hey my life is so hectic right now, seeing a tool shed go up in flames would actually be entertaining (and I'm not joking ;_;)

And yes, I remember the song "Long Way to Tipperary"; out of all things, it was played on the Charlie Brown cartoon "Snoopy Come Home".

I would actually be surprised if Darling doesn't have more respect for Blackadder after all this. Although I can give him some slack for getting drunk; he clearly needed the drinks more than anyone.

But we all know he'll have a beauty of a hangover tomorrow. )

Off to the next chapter! )

CF, first off, I apologize for my reviews on your stories being late; I'm taking night classes, but I'm just glad to be back in the game. Still, I'm sorry it's taken so long.

now, back to this chapter...

Ah, Darling getting torture never gets old, and though I can sort of pity his girlfriend falling for George, it's still hilarious to watch him stew in jealousy.

...do I even want to know how Pierre and company can give a wheelbarrow a tune up? And the image of Darling giving Geroge a piggy-back ride cracks me up to no ends. Ah, how much I need your comedy (let's just say real life isn't treating me very well right now...)

Off to the next chapter! )

So that's where George got the nun's outfit! Love it! Great fic! Huzzah!

Ah love drunken bar room escapades and back yards being on fire! Great chapter! As if I'd expect anything less!

Sorry I haven't reviewed as fast as I'd like but I spent the last couple of days painting handmade Christmas ornaments for our outside trees! Seriously. My family loves our Christmas crafts! My dad cuts stuff out of wood and I trace and paint.

Hope your holiday is as festive!

Oh the Darling torture continues! Love it! He he!

I'm starting to like Pierre more and more; hard to believe he shares Darling's genes. )

Wow, Baldrick and Pierre really do get along so well, and I'm glad. He needs more people who are just as..."quirky" as he is, and Pierre having a pet ferret and a fear of monsters can't be all bad.

I cracked up at Doris giving George a back massage, and I was expecting Darling to commit homicide right then and there, but as usual, seeing him get a pounding is just as nice. And George is just too wonderful to die yet.

Darling: Wonderful my bruised and bleeding face!

Oh be quiet, no one cares a fig about YOUR face.

Continue soon! )

Another brilliant chapter! And wow, who would have thought that Darling would have had a rough childhood, not that I pity him much, mind you.

Darling's family do seem frienly, but I had to choke with laughter when Doris showed interest in George over Darling (and wow, I think I head his blood pressure shoot through the roof). Something tells me that this jealousy will be very entertaining. Not that I blame her since who WOULDN'T leave Darling for George? )

Sqibby...hee hee hee! Brilliant!

Darling: Oh God, Cold Fusion, what have you done to me?

Ah, I'm loving this!

Sorry about the lateness of my review, but this was hilarious! And I finally managed to catch a episode or two of Blackadder on YouTube. )

Consdiering Darling is a despicable suck-up, I can say I'm glad you're choosing him as the "lucky" participant to George and Baldrick. Blackadder's had enough, and really, who doesn't love seeing Darling get the short end? )

"Get your empty head back in the car Lieutenant before something comes by and knocks it off!" Darling growled. "On the other hand, wait a few seconds. There's a stone gatepost up ahead. I think I can get a good angle on it..."

[/quote]

This...was priceless. Hee hee! And something tells me that the smashed wireless and the scratch on the General's car is going to cost him much later. And I so love seeing where this wil lgo next!

Off to the next chapter! )

Poor Darling! At least Baldrick found a friend in Pierre! Great chapter! He he!

Squibby! He he! Love the CD joke. Cute.

Watch out for any stray knives! Darling is going to have a fun weekend! Love this fic! Great job!
