Blackadder's Christmas Carol, one of my favorite holiday specials.

You can watch the whole thing on Daily Motion:

The simplicity of the concept is pure genius...such an obvious idea, but brilliantly executed.

Enjoy.

Blackadder's Christmas Carol is a one-off episode of Blackadder, a parody of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol. It is set between Blackadder the Third (1987) and Blackadder Goes Forth (1989), and is narrated by Hugh Laurie. Produced by the BBC, it was first broadcast on BBC1 on 23 December 1988.

It is right up there with Monty Python, in my book. I can watch each and ever episode over and over, and it never gets tiring because there is likely SOMETHING I missed, during my past viewings.
