Revealing mistake: At the very end of the episode, right after Edmund drinks the wine, the camera switches to a close-up. Watch the very animated 'dead' extra right behind Edmund who seems to be unsure whether the scene is in the bag yet or not. (00:29:25)
The Witchsmeller Pursuivant - S1-E5
Revealing mistake: The edges of Blackadder's bald cap are visible next to his right ear when he is visited by the queen and princess. (00:24:45)
Continuity mistake: In Back and Forth, the 'modern' Edmund makes off with the helmet we saw Georgius put on the wall. But in the next shot of the Roman Blackadder and Georgius, the helmet is still where Georgius left it.
Plan B: Corporal Punishment - S4-E2
Blackadder: I remember Massingbird's most famous case - the Case of the Bloody Knife. A man was found next to a murdered body. He had the knife in his hand, thirteen witnesses had seen him stab the victim and when the police arrived he said 'I'm glad I killed the bastard.' Massingbird not only got him off, he got hom knighted in the New Year's Honours list, and the relatives of the victim had to pay to get the blood washed out of his jacket.
Trivia: BlackAdder was recently voted the second best British comedy, losing to Only Fools and Horses.
Question: The back of the Goes Forth DVD cover lists Tony Robinson's character as 'Private S. Baldrick'. What is Baldrick's first name?
Answer: It's not known what Baldrick's first name is. Sod off is a way of telling someone to go away/get lost, so when the kids said, "We know. Sod off, Baldrick," they were essentially telling him to go away.
Answer: The closest we ever get to knowing his first name is in series 3, when he claims it's "Sod Off". Blackadder asks him in series 3 where this came from, and he replies "Well, when I was a kid, living in the gutter, I'd go up to the other kids and say 'Hello, I'm Baldrick'. And they'd say, 'Yes, we know. Sod off, Baldrick.'" The S in this series is likely a reference to that, but it's not addressed, and given this Baldrick is clearly different from the series 3 Baldrick, we can't draw a direct link.
