Editing Edmund Blackadder (section)

===Mr. Ebenezer Blackadder (Victorian London)===
Mr. Ebenezer Blackadder, the Victorian Blackadder, appears in ''[[Blackadder's Christmas Carol]]''. Unlike his cold-hearted, [[Cynicism (contemporary)|cynical]] ancestors and the [[Charles Dickens|Dickens]] character [[Ebenezer Scrooge]] he is a parody of, he is by repute the nicest man in [[Victorian England]]. Unfortunately, this only serves to make him a target for the cynical crooks and cheats he is surrounded by, and a ''[[A Christmas Carol|Christmas Carol]]''-like encounter with the "Ghost of Christmas" sees him greatly inspired by his snide-yet-triumphant ancestors; he learns that if he reverts to their ways his descendants will rule the universe, otherwise they will end up as Baldrick's slaves in the same time period. Upon the departure of the Ghost, Blackadder renounces his compassion and reverts to type on the spot.
