This moive is good any time of the year and it's only an hour long. If after this you're still looking for more BA after this there's an episode from the 3 seris floating around in your video store, I can't remember the title but thats the only place I,ve ever seen it. BLACK ADDER MOIVE DUE OUT IN APRIL
