Blackadders cousin MacAdder was in this one too. I think it was the last episode of the third series. \*\* It’s also where our OP got his username. ---

“Mrs. Miggins, there’s nothing intellectual about roaming around Italy in a big shirt trying to get laid.” “Mrs. Miggins, if we were the last three people left alive on the planet, I’d be starting a family with Baldrick about now.” “Mrs. Miggins, there’s nothing romantic about people who urinate in public, eat snails, and are rude to geese.” I have got to get the DVD set. ---

oh dear… we could be here quite some time. I agree with those who say B3 was best, and the dictionary and the actors were my two favorites. Ok, mangling from memory: B3: They say he has more factories than you have braincells. PG: Oh? How many? B3: Three, my lord. PG: Tell us a story, but not that depressing one about the fellow who wanders around preaching and comes a cropper on a tree in jolly Arabland. B3: You mean our lord and savior Jesus Christ? Hag: There are two things you must know about the Wise Woman. First! She is wise. Second! B2: She is a woman? H: Oh, you’ve met her? B2: No, it was just a stab in the dark, which is what you’ll be getting if you don’t cooperate… Thank you, my good woman. Here is a purse of gold which I won’t be giving you. Prince George is “as thick as a whale omelet.” That makes me laugh, just thinking about it. The opposing candidate “tragically accidentally cut off his own head while shaving.” Fifteen Iguana ---

The Queen (in B1): It’s the lying I find so hurtful. Queen Elizabeth’s dream, which would make Sigmund Freud blush. Melchett: Thank you for the advice, Blackadder. I will certainly take it, just as soon as I have my brain replaced with a large cauliflower. Baldrick: C. Wobbly thing mermaids swim in. The lovely conversation between Melchett and George in “Corporal Punishment” which ends with rabbit pie. And Baldrick 4, bless his heart, carving his name in a bullet, so that he can keep the bullet with his name on it in his pocket, where it can’t hurt him. B4: I think it rhymes with ‘clucking bell.’ I’ll stop now. ---

Saw an episope last night… BA - "Have you no idea what _irony_ is, Baldrick? B - "Of course, it’s like _goldie_ or _bronzie_, only its made of iron. ---

I can’t remember the exactl leadup, but in the rotten burrough episode (III, I think), Baldrick’s first name comes up. I think he’s listed as S Baldrick on the voter roll, or something. Blackadder: S Baldrick? What’s the S stand for? Baldrick: Sodoff. Blackadder: Sodoff…Baldrick? Baldrick: Yeah, when I was a child and went to play with the other children, they’d all say ‘Here comes Baldrick…Sod off Baldrick.’ ---

Third series for me too. Highwayman and Rotten Borough are probably my favorites, edging out Dictionary by a nose. Dr. Johnson (to Prince George): Your Highness,You used MY dictionary to look up rude words? Black Adder: Why not? That’s what all the other ones will be used for. Black Adder: Baldrick! Who gave you permission to turn into an Alsatian? Oh God, it’s a dream, isn’t it? A bloody dream… ---

Queen: Why, then, he’s vanished… simply vanished. Percy: Like an old, oak table. Queen: “Vanished”, Lord Percy, not “varnished”. Percy: Forgive me, my lady, but my Uncle Bertram’s old oak table completely vanished. 'Twas on the night of the great Stepney fire. And on that same terrible night, his house and all his other things completely vanished too. So did he, in fact. It was a most perplexing mystery. Queen: Lord Percy? Percy: Yes? Queen: It’s up to you - either you can shut up, or you can have your head cut off. Percy: _(Lengthy period of intense thought)_ … I’ll shut up. ---

You know, my son, for the first time in my life I have a real fatherly feeling about you. People may say I’m stark raving mad and say the word Pengvin after each sentence, but I believe that we two can make Britain Great - you as the Prince Regent and I as King Pengvin. (of course the name is based on his accent) ---

“Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more!! Consign their parts most private to a Rutland tree.” “You see, heaven’s for the people who like the sort of things that go on in heaven … singing, talking with God, watering potted plants, that sort of thing.” “When around the bend came Mortimer” "The King’s hired assassin ?

**George:** Oh sir, just one thing… If we should happen to tread on a mine, what should we do? **Blackadder:** Well, normal procedure, Leftenant, is to jump 200 feet into the air and scatter yourself over a wide area.
