Having read many reviews of this unique Blackadder film I did not have high hopes for Back and Forth. But it was definatly worth the visit. Given that it can only be seen at the Millennium Dome at Greenwich it is the best attraction there (though whether it is worth the £20 entrance fee just to see the film I'm not sure). It is not the best Blackadder story, but with the added bonus of a budget probably larger than all the series put together and all of the Original cast members (Atkinson, Robinson, Fry, Laurie, McInnerny, Mayall, Richardson and Patsy Byrne back as Nursie!) plus some subtle references to the series it will please the fans. As is will be the most watched film in British TV history (a few millions over the year at the dome) it will also hopefully entertain the average visitor as well. If you are going to the dome in 2000 then definatly don't miss it, or if not then wait until it is on Sky One and the BBC in 2001. See it if you can.
