The series aired for six episodes broadcast on Thursdays on [[BBC1]] at 9.30pm between 9 January 1986 and 20 February 1986.<ref name="BaII"/>

"Head" was originally intended to be the first episode and was first to be filmed.<ref name="Blackadder Hall"/> This resulted in the small [[continuity error]] of Lord Percy still having a beard in "Head" which he shaves off in "Bells". In addition, during the early scenes of "Head", the principal characters are introduced to the audience with Baldrick's stupidity highlighted.{{Citation needed|date=June 2024}}
