Blackadder (1986) - 14 mistakes in series 3
starring Hugh Laurie, Miranda Richardson, Rowan Atkinson, Stephen Fry, Tim McInnerny, Tony Robinson
Dish and Dishonesty
Revealing: When Blackadder lifts the huge turnip it looks really light. A turnip that size would weight a fair bit. Submitted by Duff "King Of Beers" Mckagan
Revealing: When Baldrick is on the metal spit rotating by the fire, the fire is just a light up board. Submitted by Duff "King Of Beers" Mckagan
Ink and Incapability
Nob and Nobility
Revealing: After Blackadder accidentally kills Smedly with one of the suicide pills, he starts ranting about how useless Smedly is as a hero, because he was dumb enough to fall for the old 'poisoned cup routine.' As he does so, you can see the supposedly dead Smedly behind him, still breathing normally.
Sense and Senility
Amy and Amiability
Factual error: After the Shadow has left Blackadder a captive, she says how much she hates squirrels, and fires two shots from a single shot pistol. Submitted by Jon Sandys
Duel and Duality
Deliberate "mistake": There are several historical dates wrong in this episode. For a start, Prince George didn't become Prince Regent until 1811, and yet this is set before the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805 (as Black Adder gives Wellington some advice on it). Similarly, Wellington didn't get the title "Duke of Wellington" until 1814. Again inconsistent with being pre-Trafalgar.
