Dat noemen ze een
'serial'.
Volgens de British Film Institute zijn de vier Blackadder series ook losse series.
Zie de
TV Top 100, "Blackadder Goes Forth" staat als enige Blackadder serie erin.
Het valt ook af te leiden uit de jaartallen.
"The Black Adder" (1983)
"Blackadder II" (1986)
"Blackadder the Third" (1987)
"Blackadder Goes Forth" (1989)
Blackadder Back & Forth (1999)
Dit is dus wat Astrostart bedoeld met:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miniseries#Televisionquote:
Although no strict rule exists which differentiate a miniseries from a "regular" series or serial there are some suggestions. Leslie Halliwell and Philip Purser argue in Halliwell's Television Companion that miniseries tend to "appear in four to six episodes of various lengths." whilst Stuart Cunningham defines them as, "a limited run program of more than two and less than the thirteen part season or half season block associated with serial or series programming."
One other important aspect, as Francis Wheen argues is that, "Both soap operas and primetime series cannot afford to allow their leading characters to develop, since the shows are made with the intention of running indefinitely. In a miniseries on the other hand, there is a clearly defined beginning, a middle and an end, (as in a conventional play or novel) enabling characters to change, mature or die as the serial proceeds..". Thus a series that is cancelled, or not renewed, after only a few episodes would not fall into the category of a miniseries.
...
In British television, the term 'miniseries' is almost never used, except in reference to American imports. The term serial is preferred for short-run British television drama, which has been a staple of UK schedules since the early 1950s when serials such as The Quatermass Experiment (1953) established the popularity of the form. 'Miniseries' is, however, used as a kind of exonym for non-miniseries British TV series in the United States, where the typical season length of six to thirteen episodes is considered short.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackadderquote:
After the first series - which had enjoyed a considerable budget for a sitcom, and had been shot largely on location - the BBC decided not to take up the option of a follow-up. However, in 1984, Michael Grade took over as the controller of BBC One and, after talks with the Blackadder team, finally agreed that a second series could be made as long as the cost was dramatically cut.
Dus Blackadder zou oorspronkelijk niet 'renewed' worden (het was dus niet af), daardoor valt het per definitie niet onder miniserie.
Daarna zijn het gewoon aparte series geworden.
Britse seizoenen voor tv-series bestaan vaak maar uit 6 afleveringen.
Misschien tijd voor een discussie topic hierover?
