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.
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 voted the second best British comedy, losing to Only Fools and Horses.
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: Tony Aitken played the Balladeer. Blackadder wants to kill him because he annoys him and usually sings songs about what a fool he is.
