Blackadder Chat Dataset
A chat-style instruction dataset distilled from the full Blackadder TV scripts (all four series). Each example pairs a line of dialogue with Edmund Blackadder's reply, so a model fine-tuned on it learns to answer in the persona of Rowan Atkinson's character.
Files
| File | Description |
|---|---|
season_1.txt … season_4.txt |
Raw fan transcripts, one file per series. |

The dataset. 2,581 user→assistant dialogue pairs. |
The dataset is generated by ../data.py:
python data.py # run from the repo root; writes data/blackadder.jsonl
Format
blackadder.jsonl is JSON Lines: one example per
line. Each line is a JSON object with a messages list of two turns — the
line spoken just before Edmund (user), and Edmund's response (assistant):
{"messages": [
{"role": "user", "content": "Edna, fight you with us on the morrow?"},
{"role": "assistant", "content": "Er, oh goodness, no! No, I thought I'd fight with the enemy!"}

How examples are built
For every line Edmund speaks, the script emits one pair: the assistant turn is Edmund's line, and the user turn is the line spoken immediately before it by another character.
Key decisions made while parsing the (messy, hand-typed) transcripts:
Edmund is matched by all of his aliases, resolved per series. The scripts abbreviate speakers differently in each episode, and the abbreviations conflict — e.g.
Bmeans Baldrick in series 2 & 3, not Blackadder. The alias sets used are:Series Edmund labels 1 Edmund,EBA,BA,E2 Edmund,Blackadder,BA,E3 Edmund,Blackadder,E4 Edmund,BlackadderThe user turn is the nearest preceding other-character line. Intervening stage directions are skipped, and consecutive Edmund lines are merged into a single assistant turn.
Stage directions are stripped —
[...],(...), and{...}(one episode uses braces) — including directions that wrap across script lines.Episode boundaries (
Sharing is caring!+ intro paragraph) and the per-episode cast legends (B: Baldrick) are detected and excluded.Wrapped dialogue and scene narration are not mistaken for new speaker turns; a line is only treated as a new speaker when its label is short and capitalised.
The parser is heuristic, so a small amount of residual noise remains (e.g. a
rare line where two characters share one transcript line keeps an inline
Name: tag). See the docstring and comments in ../data.py
for details.
