I agree about the accent thing. I can't stand Renee Zwelleger and her horrible English Rose accent for Bridgit Jones and Beatrice Potter. For some reason the accent cuts through my spine less preferable than hearing nails down a blackboard. That aside I don't think she is a particularly bad actress. She just tries too hard, and there are plenty of English born Bridgit actresses out there. Blackadder is one of my favourite comedies of all time. I also like the first series on its own merit. It where Edmunds character begins to bloom so that by series 3 it is so utterly vile and creepy, you can't help smile at the bare faced cheek of his actions. My favourite in series 1 is where Edmund becomes the arch bishop of canterbury. League of Gentlemen is in fact my number 1 favourite, and has me laughing out loud at inappropriate times.
