Blackadder's Christmas Carol
A irreverent, high-spirited spoof of A Christmas Carol that inverts the source material's moral arc through comedic absurdity and period-specific British humor.
After a genial spirit shows the benevolent Ebenezer Blackadder visions of his unscrupulous ancestors, he resolves to mend his generous ways.
