The Witchsmeller Pursuivant - S1-E5
Trivia: There are in fact two versions of the bonfire scene. Although most countries use the intended censored version (where somebody coughs right as Edmund says the F word) there are a few US editions where you can hear him swearing uninterrupted.
Trivia: Stephen Fry, who played Lord Wellington, ad-libbed most of his lines.
Trivia: BlackAdder was recently voted the second best British comedy, losing to Only Fools and Horses.
Trivia: When the last scene was filmed, the cast ran onto a polystyrene no man's land, someone shouted bang and they all fell down. only to bounce back up. Obviously, this was edited out, which is why you never actually see them getting shot.
Plan E: General Hospital - S4-E5
Trivia: When Blackadder is explaining how he caught the nurse as the German spy by saying three schools of which only two were great universities, Melchett says "Quite right, Oxford's a right dump." This is an in-joke, as Stephen Fry (who played Melchett) went to Cambridge, and Rowan Atkinson (Blackadder) went to Oxford.
Trivia: The episode "Blackadder Back And Forth" was originally shown only in an exhibit at the Millennium Dome in Greenwich.
Trivia: In the first scene of "Blackadder Back and Forth," a portrait of First World War Blackadder can be seen on the wall.
Trivia: During the scene about how to give the speech, Kenneth Connor coughs during the filming and Hugh Laurie does his best to stifle a laugh whilst berating Edmund. They were kept in, adding to the hilarity.
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.
