Dish and Dishonesty - S3-E1

Revealing mistake: When Blackadder lifts the huge turnip it looks really light. A turnip that size would weight a fair bit.

Nob and Nobility - S3-E3

Revealing mistake: 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 - S3-E4

Revealing mistake: The bomb that is thrown at the Prince explodes before the lit fuse actually burns down far enough. (00:03:15)

Trivia

Video

Plan F: Goodbyeee - S4-E6

Trivia: The original footage of the famous final scene was very disappointing. The set was small, and the cast only charged forwards a small distance before unconvincingly falling over when "shot". The scene was saved in editing, slowing down the video and audio enormously, and fading to an empty shot of no-man's land, then the poppies. The final result has been described as one of television's most powerful endings.
