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.
Blackadder (1986)

Plot hole: In 'The Foretelling', it is said that Richard IV reigned for "13 glorious years" with a caption showing 1485-1498. 'The Black Seal' starts on St. Junipers' Day, 1498, but Blackadder spends 12 months locked up with Mad Gerald. So when the Royal Family are finally murdered it is actually 1499.
Blackadder: We are reprieved. It is a triumph for stupidity over common sense.
Baldrick: Thank you very much.
Blackadder: As a special reward, Baldrick, take a short holiday. [Pauses for a second.] Did you enjoy it?

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.
Question: Who played the balladeer and why was Blackadder trying to kill him?
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.
