Spoiler-Free Synopsis
Read MoreCollapse
Returning to British TV after a three-year absence, the satirical sitcom The Black Adder once again starred Rowan Atkinson, this time as Lord Edmund Blackadder, illegitimate great-great-grandson of the original series' delightfully scurrilous anti-hero. Blackadder II was ushered in on January 9, 1986, with the episode titled "Bells." The scene is England; the year, 1558. Lord Edmund can't understand why he is so attracted to his new manservant Bob. He gets his answer in a hurry: "Bob" is really Kate (Gabrielle Glaster), who has disguised herself as a boy to escape a life of prostitution.

About This Guide
This episode guide brings together the episode runtime, synopsis, series context, and nearby episode navigation for Blackadder II. That gives readers and search engines a clearer relationship between the episode and the parent series instead of treating the page as an isolated record.
Editorial Take
Bells is presented as an episode-level guide that still keeps the parent series context visible, which is important because isolated episode pages can otherwise feel detached and thin. This episode sits at position 1 out of 6, so the page can answer both the runtime question and the progress question at the same time. The 30m runtime is especially useful here because episode search intent is often much more time-sensitive than general series search intent.
