George: Well, it's difficult to say, we appear to have crawled into an area marked with mushrooms.
Blackadder: [patiently] What do those symbols denote?
George: Pfff. That we're in a field of mushrooms?
Blackadder: Lieutenant, that is a military map, it is unlikely to list interesting flora and fungi. Look at the key and you'll
discover that those mushrooms aren't for picking.
George: Good Lord, you're quite right sir, it says "mine". So,these mushrooms must belong to the man who made the map.
Blackadder: Either that, or we're in the middle of a mine-field.
Black Adder II the best, followed by IV. I still fill up when they go over the top in the last episode of IV.
Don't forget the Dickensian Christmas special - Blackadders Christmas Carol from 1990 - another classic.
Blackadder II (from memory)
Father (to "Bob"): "Oh please go on the game... the hours are good, and you can work from home..." ----------- Baldrick: "By fortunate coincidence it missed both my legs completely, and hit me in the willie"
Blackadder: " Oh good, you can call it your "lucky willie"" -----------
Percy: "The trend this season is towards the tiny"
Blackadder: "In that case Percy, you have the most fashionable brain in London"
Not many people know this, but there was no Blackadder IV planned until a student sent in a pilot script that he;d written himself. They loved the idea and hey presto....

1989?!?! Jesus that makes me feel old!
Blackadder: Now, where the hell are we?

Baldrick: Oh dear.
George: So, he owns the field as well?
Yeah. It was crap. Really just a promo for the Dome.
I wouldn't rule out another series one day. Set in the 50's or 60's maybe.
What was your fav series? I think mine was Blackadder III, with the Prince Regent etc..
Tudor Blackadder was good. That one or the WWI version.
