Synopsis
After the abundant generosity of Ebenezer Blackadder (Rowan Atkinson) and Baldrick (Tony Robinson) leaves them without gifts, money or food for Christmas, they change tack after a visit from a bearded ghost (Robbie Coltrane). Showing snippets of his ancestors’ evil past, the ghost encourages Ebenezer Blackadder to turn his back on goodwill and lean into mean-spiritedness.
