01:18Well, isn't this splendid and absolutely tufted?
01:22New Year's Eve, 1999. A new century and a new millennium.
01:26Let's drink a great big slurpy toast to peace and understanding around the globe.
01:31Bravo! After all, if history teaches us anything,
01:34it is that in the words of St. Bert,
01:36what the world needs now is love, sweet love.
01:40Total codswallow.
01:42If history has taught us anything, it is that the story of man
01:45is one long round of death and torture,
01:48and burning people as witches just because they've got a wart.
01:52I'm sorry about the food, by the way.
01:54Unfortunately, my cook got invited to an orgy at Delia Smith's house,
01:58and so our chef for this evening is the man who cleans out the septic tank.
02:03Bald Rick!
02:09My lord!
02:10God save us.
02:12I trust you're all enjoying your food.
02:14No, we're not, actually, Bald Rick.
02:16What is this we're eating?
02:18It tastes as if someone with a bad chest cold
02:20has taken two spoonfuls of Benlin to loosen the phlegm
02:23and then coughed all over an avocado.
02:26Funny you should say that, sir, because...
02:28Yes, all right, Bald Rick, yes. Thank you.
02:30You may go now.
02:32I believe you've got some other duties to attend to.
02:36Oh, yes.
02:38Excuse me, please, everybody.
02:45Now, where were we?
02:47We were Barrywell toasting the future.
02:49Yes, and I suppose it might also be a perfect time to look to the past.
02:53How on earth am I to look at the past?
02:56You can't see something's already happened.
02:59Unless you're on the lavatory.
03:01Good point, Bishop.
03:02Yes, or unless one's got a time machine.
03:06How likely is that?
03:08Well, very likely, actually, darling.
03:10Because I've just built one.
03:12Stuff and stops.
03:14I've heard some rubbish in my time.
03:17Every time I open my mouth, as a matter of fact.
03:19But a time machine?
03:21It's just cobblers.
03:23I can assure you it is not.
03:25This is an original sketchbook by Leonardo da Vinci.
03:29And in the last year, I myself have built a time machine
03:32to his exact specifications.
03:35Ladies and gentlemen, the greatest breakthrough in travel
03:38since Mr Rodney Tricycle thought to himself,
03:41I'm bored with walking.
03:43I think I'll invent a machine with three wheels and a bell
03:46and name it after myself.
03:48Behold, the time machine.
03:54Well, glaze my nipples and call me Rita.
03:57It can't be real, Blackadder.
03:59It's a practical joke, surely.
04:00Certainly not.
04:01When was the last time I played a practical joke?
04:03Well, there was the time you said you were dying of kidney failure
04:06and I donated one of my kidneys to save your life
04:08and then you said it was an April Fool
04:10and we had to throw my kidney away.
04:14Well, yes, there has been the odd hilarious practical joke,
04:17but not this time.
04:19This is a working time machine.
04:21And to prove it, I suggest a wager.
04:25I will bet you each £10,000
04:29that I can travel through time
04:31and bring back any items of historical interest
04:34which you choose to nominate.
04:37Darling?
04:38Well, yes, all right.
04:39Yes, if you can travel through time, I'll pay up.
04:43So long as you bring back with you
04:45a genuine Roman centurion's helmet.
04:49Very well.
04:50A Roman centurion's helmet.
04:54No, no, that's much too easy.
04:56What about the actual wellingtons
04:59actually worn by Wellington
05:02on the day he won the Battle of Waterloo?
05:04Lady Elizabeth would like the actual wellingtons
05:07worn by the Duke of Wellington
05:09on the day he won the Battle of Waterloo.
05:12Anyone else?
05:14Oh, yes. Ah, yes, I've got one.
05:16I want you to get...
05:17I'd like to see you get your hands on these.
05:19..an ancient, reeking, stinking pair of 200-year-old underpants.
05:2415th-century body-huggers. That's the ticket.
05:31Very well. I shall be on my way.
05:33This will, of course, take no time at all in your time.
05:36I shall merely step in.
05:37There will be a momentary shuddering
05:39and I will emerge triumphant.
05:43Farewell, dear friends.
05:49Well done, Balders. This is very impressive.
05:51I'm sorry that I didn't have time to build it myself.
05:53Don't worry, my lord.
05:54I've followed Mr Da Vinci's instructions to the letter.
05:57Even though you can't actually read?
05:59That's right, my lord.
06:00But I have done a lot of air-fix models in my time.
06:03Right. We've got the centurion's helmet.
06:05Very good.
06:06And the boots.
06:08Excellent.
06:09The underpants. Where are the underpants?
06:11Oh, here you are, my lord.
06:13They're my very best pair.
06:15And, coincidentally, some are very worst.
06:17So they are, in fact, your only pair of underpants?
06:20That's right, my lord.
06:23Look at the bag.
06:31Right. Let's get all this stuff going, shall we?
06:33Right, my lord.
06:35Yes.
06:36Right.
06:37Shake it about a bit.
06:39Make it look real.
06:41The best New Year's Eve prank ever.
06:44There.
06:50You hide there.
06:51£30,000, here I come.
06:59Right.
07:02Interesting.
07:03What's happening, my lord?
07:05Well...
07:08For God's sake, do something, Baldrick.
07:11Something useful.
07:13If I get something, just throw.
07:15Shoot. Go on. Go away.
07:19Sold off.
07:30The underpants. Try the underpants.
07:34Bloody brontosaurus.
07:37Not me.
07:38What?
07:40They slipped my skis.
07:54Fascinating.
07:55One of history's great mysteries solved.
07:58The dinosaurs were, in fact, wiped out by your pants.
08:05Well, Baldrick, this is a turning point.
08:07Well, Baldrick, this is a turn-up for the books.
08:10You have built a working time machine
08:12and are therefore, rather surprisingly,
08:14the greatest genius who has ever lived.
08:16Thank you very much, my lord.
08:18Right, let's get out of here, shall we?
08:19No problem, my lord.
08:27Can you set the date so we can get home?
08:29Yes, I'll just turn that there, pull that there,
08:31reset that there, pull this lever like that,
08:34and the date should come up.
08:37But unfortunately, it doesn't,
08:39because I was going to write the numbers on in felt-tip pen,
08:42but I never got round to it.
08:44Right.
08:45So the date we're heading for
08:47is two watermelons and a bunch of cherries.
08:50That's right, my lord.
08:51In other words, we can't get home.
08:54Not as such.
08:56Excellent.
09:00Rather a spectacular return to form
09:02after the genius moment, Baldrick.
09:05Still, I think someone with common sense
09:07ought to be able to resolve this.
09:08All we've got to do is put these controls
09:10back to where they were when we first set off.
09:13I think that was about there.
09:16That means over here and here.
09:19There.
09:22And that should get us home.
09:25Excellent.
09:26You threw away our winning items, Baldrick,
09:28but at least we're home.
09:32Typical.
09:33Typical.
09:34They must have got bored and gone back for pudding.
09:39Right.
09:40Now, you're not going to believe that...
09:45Ah, Lord Blackadder.
09:52Elizabeth I.
09:55You're wearing very weird clothes.
09:58And you're looking rather old and ugly, actually.
10:01Is that right?
10:02Of course it's right. I'm always right.
10:04Of course it's right.
10:06Belchy.
10:07Ma'am.
10:08Edmund has been very cheeky.
10:10Shall I laugh at him or chop his ugly head off?
10:13Well, one hates to be harsh, ma'am,
10:14but I do think a bit of choppy-choppy
10:16is the only apt reaction.
10:18Very well.
10:19Kill him!
10:22And yes, of course, Eddie,
10:24you've got a present for me.
10:27A present?
10:30Yes, certainly, Your Majesty.
10:33A present.
10:37Quickly, I'm getting bored now.
10:39Ah, yes.
10:40Now...
10:42Now, these may not look much.
10:45They don't.
10:46No, but, um...
10:48Um, well...
10:49Well, let's say... Let's say...
10:51Let's say that there was a place
10:53where you could buy absolutely everything.
10:56We already have those, Blackadder,
10:58and they're called markets.
10:59Oh, right, right.
11:00Well, imagine that, but times ten.
11:03As it were, a supermarket.
11:06Now, if you gave someone at one of these supermarkets this...
11:12he would give you some bonus points.
11:17Which would mean that once a month
11:20you could buy a tin of baked beans
11:24at half the normal price.
11:26Kill him!
11:27No, no, no, that mustn't be...
11:29Oh!
11:30Oh!
11:31Hmm?
11:32What are they?
11:34Oh, they're just sort of sweet, minty things.
11:38I want one!
11:40Yes.
11:41Your Majesty.
11:43Oh, it's got a hole in it.
11:46No, they're meant to be like that.
11:48Oh.
11:49That's how they're made.
11:51Pfft! Pfft!
11:59Blackie, you are so naughty.
12:02It's the tastiest thing in the history of the world.
12:07Try one, Melchy.
12:09What a prick.
12:10Oh, indeed, ma'am.
12:12The most pleasant.
12:13This is incredible, cos, do you know, Smelchy,
12:16the way it usually smells so bad
12:18it's like you've eaten a whole stoat for your breakfast.
12:21Well, I am aware I have a less than orthodox mouthful odour, ma'am, yes.
12:25Yes, well, you don't smell like that any more.
12:27You smell absolutely yummy now.
12:29I've felt at home like a turd.
12:31Oh, what a pity.
12:33Well done, Blackie.
12:35Here, take this, you sexy blood.
12:40Oh, thank you, ma'am.
12:42Now, go forth and bring back lots more minty things.
12:48In the next five minutes,
12:50I'll come after you and crush your skull like an egg.
12:55Certainly, Your Majesty. I'll be right back.
12:57Thank you very much. Thank you.
13:05Oh, I'm... I'm so sorry.
13:07I am sorry.
13:10Wait a minute.
13:12You're not...
13:13Will Shakespeare, yes.
13:14Don't say it, I know.
13:15You hated Two Gentlemen of Verona.
13:17This one's much better.
13:18Well, bugger my giddy aunt.
13:21You couldn't just sign something for me, could you?
13:25Well, certainly.
13:28Sorry, Sister Byro.
13:36Oh, and just one more thing.
13:38Yeah.
13:39That is for every schoolboy and schoolgirl
13:42for the next 400 years.
13:45Have you any idea how much suffering you're going to cause?
13:49Hours spent at school desks
13:51trying to find one joke in a Midsummer Night's Dream.
13:55Years wearing stupid tights in school plays
13:59and saying things like,
14:00what, who, my lord, and, oh, look, here comes Othello,
14:03talking total crap, as usual.
14:06Oh, and...
14:07Ow!
14:09That is for Ken Branagh's
14:11endless, uncut, four-hour version of Hamlet.
14:16Who's Ken Branagh?
14:18I'll tell him you said that,
14:20and I think he'll be very hurt.
14:27Right, let's get out of here, boulders.
14:29Certainly, my lord.
14:30By the way, if we're lucky enough to get out of this alive...
14:32Yes, my lord?
14:33Remind me to kill you, will you?
14:34Oh, all right, my lord.
14:36It was down here when we were the dinosaurs.
14:38It's in the middle now, so why don't we try...
14:44That should do the trick.
14:48Er, yes, I suspect that's a little too far forward.
15:00Good God, where are we now?
15:03Oh, dear.
15:05You think it's safe?
15:07I don't know.
15:08Does this look like a dangerous place to you, Baldrick,
15:10this empty wood?
15:19Well, well, what have we here,
15:21my tough band of freedom fighters?
15:23We have good muscle tone and aren't gay.
15:25Oh, God.
15:33Oh!
15:36Look, lads, we've captured Lord Blackadder!
15:38Hooray!
15:40Wait a minute.
15:42Are you Robin Hood?
15:44Am I Robin Hood?
15:46Is Will Scarlet a poof in tights?
15:50Is Friar Tug a fat tub of lard with a ridiculous haircut?
15:55Is Maid Marian a hot little honey
15:57with thighs like two halves of a nutcracker?
15:59Yes, I am.
16:00Wha?
16:01Wha.
16:03Hooray!
16:05Wha?
16:06Wha!
16:07Oh, yes, it's nice to meet you at last.
16:09Because there's one question I've always wanted to ask you.
16:12Fire away!
16:13One final question before I impale you with my magnificent weapon
16:16and I'm not talking about my enormous...
16:18Yes, yes, yes, I know you're not.
16:20What puzzles me is this.
16:22You rob from the rich.
16:24Yes!
16:25That's right, yeah.
16:26And then, when you've robbed the rich,
16:28you give it all to the poor.
16:31Yes!
16:32I love giving it to the poor!
16:34What?
16:35What?
16:36Now, that's the bit I don't understand.
16:39You men risk your lives in combat?
16:42Yes!
16:43You risk certain death if you're caught?
16:46Yes!
16:47You live here in this forest in total squalor?
16:51I mean, I'd hate to think what the toilet facilities are like around here.
16:55Not very nice, actually.
16:57And yet you still give every single penny
17:00to these so-called poor
17:03who just sit on their backsides all day.
17:07All right, shut up now!
17:08Laughing at you, saying,
17:09Oh, no need to go to work today.
17:11Robin Hood and his merry men will be along in a minute with a big pile of cash.
17:14I said shut up!
17:16I'm surprised they don't call you Robin Hood and his bunch of complete lunatics.
17:21Right, that is it!
17:23Sue them, I'm great and he's not!
17:26Robin Hood and his band of merry morons.
17:29Ready!
17:31Aim!
17:35Fire!
17:43Can I say that I think you made the right decision?
17:46So do I, gorgeous.
17:49Ding dong.
17:52Well, Maid Marian was pretty friendly.
17:55So was Will Scarlet.
17:57Really nice girl.
18:01Still, the sooner we get home, the better.
18:03We've started to affect history and that's dangerous.
18:06We've already wiped out the dinosaurs and killed Robin Hood.
18:09God only knows what's going to happen next time.
18:22My Lord Emperor.
18:24I, the Duke de Darling, bring news.
18:27The English have reached Waterloo.
18:29Good, prepare to attack.
18:31Very well.
18:32But first, I would like to ask,
18:34why do we want to invade Britain in the first place?
18:37I mean, their wine is made of the peepee of cows
18:40and their women all have big beards.
18:43We invade, darling, because the British think they are so tough.
18:47They think we French are sissies.
18:49They call us weeds and whoopsies and big girls' blouses.
18:52With respect, my Emperor, we are whoopsies.
18:55We invented the tapestry, the soufflé and the sweet liqueur.
18:59We will be slaughtered the minute we mince up the head.
19:02Do not despair.
19:04It is my firm belief that God hates the British.
19:07He will intervene miraculously
19:09and send us a glorious victory on this field of Waterloo.
19:13Oh, bravo!
19:16Lovely uniform today, by the way.
19:18Oh, thank you. I think it works.
19:28Your Grace, the French are approaching.
19:30Excellent. I have a superb plan which cannot fail
19:33but to result in the complete destruction of the French army.
19:36Tell me at once, Your Grace, and I'll spread the news to the troops.
19:39Very well. The plan is...
19:41God, I'm brilliant. I surprise myself sometimes.
19:44The plan is to allow the French to come within 100 yards of us
19:48and then, and this is the completely original and brilliant part...
19:51Yes?
19:53Then...
19:55Your Grace!
19:59The Duke of Wellington is dead!
20:01Whoops!
20:03Alas! Alas!
20:05Without the plan, the day is lost.
20:08Pardon me.
20:11Thanks very much.
20:14Might as well try and win that cash anyway.
20:18Why don't we try pressing this button?
20:24Well, fingers crossed.
20:28What can you see, Balders?
20:30People in very short skirts, my lord.
20:32Ah, excellent. The 1960s. At last, we're getting close.
20:36I might stay a while, actually, for a bit of hippie free love.
20:40Not that free love would make a lot of difference to you, would it, Balders?
20:43I mean, what would a sheep do with money?
20:45Not girls in skirts, my lord. Men.
20:48Ah, Spandau Ballet, 1983.
20:51I think not, my lord.
20:57Romans!
20:59We're still centuries out. Come on, let's go.
21:02Although, I might just steal myself a Roman helmet while we're here.
21:06That's interesting.
21:08The machine seems to be seeking out our DNA across time.
21:11Just brilliant.
21:13What, Alcenturion?
21:14We're facing a horde of ginger maniacs with wild goats nesting in their huge orange beards.
21:20Or, to put it another way, the Scots.
21:23And how does our inspired leader Hadrian intend to keep out this vast army of lunatics?
21:28By building a three-foot-high wall.
21:31A terrifying obstacle.
21:33About as frightening as a little rabbit with the word boo painted on its nose.
21:39Oh, come now, Centurion, I won't have that.
21:42This wall is a terrific defence mechanism.
21:44Why, it's surely not suggesting that a rabble of Scots could get the better of Roman soldiers.
21:53Welcome, General.
21:55Splendid.
21:57Ah, I see you're practising your English, Georgius.
22:01But my intention is...
22:19Did you hear that, Bordas?
22:21I certainly did, Alcenturion. Back to Rome at last.
22:26This is interesting.
22:28There appears to be a large orange hedge moving towards us.
22:32That's not a hedge, Consul.
22:34That's the Scots.
22:41What shall we do, Archer?
22:43Shall we run, my lord?
22:45Yes.
22:48Perhaps we could negotiate.
22:50Last one there gets hacked to pieces by Rod Stewart's great-great-grandfather.
22:59Let's get home, Bordas.
23:01We don't know where home is.
23:03We're doomed to float through time for all time.
23:08How woe is me!
23:11Shut up, Bordas, shut up.
23:13There is one final thing to push, which may be our salvation.
23:17Or not.
23:19Because it is, in fact, a lollipop.
23:22Raspberry-flavoured, my lord.
23:24Oh, God.
23:27I'm going to spend the rest of my life in a small wooden room
23:31with two toilets and the stupidest man in the world.
23:35Right, my lord, do not despair,
23:38for I have a cunning plan.
23:44Can I say I'm not optimistic, Bordas?
23:46To be quite frank, my lord, neither am I.
23:48My family have never been very good at plans.
23:51So, with suitably low expectations,
23:54what is your cunning plan to get us home?
23:56Well, my lord, you know how when people drown,
23:59their whole life flashes in front of them?
24:01Yes.
24:03Well, if you stuck your head in a bucket of water
24:06and didn't bring it out again,
24:08then your whole life would flash in front of you
24:11and you'd see where all the knobs and levers were
24:13when we first set off.
24:15And then, if you pulled your head out again,
24:18just before you died, you could guide us home.
24:22Bordic.
24:24My lord.
24:26Good plan.
24:28With perhaps just one tiny modification.
24:32Ooh!
24:39How's it going?
24:41I'm 18 years old. I've just left nursery school.
24:43Okey-dokey.
24:46I'm 25. I'm back at nursery school.
25:05Got it!
25:07Very good.
25:09I wish... I wish I'd flushed the loo first.
25:12I wish... I wish I'd flushed the loo first.
25:17Oh, yeah.
25:19As we approach the end, my lord,
25:21what do you think we've learnt on our great journey?
25:24Good question, Bordic.
25:26I suppose I've learnt that I must buy you
25:29a much stronger mouthwash for Christmas this year.
25:32How about you?
25:34Oh, I don't know. I suppose I've learnt
25:36that human beings have always been the same.
25:38Some nice, some nasty, some clever, some stupid.
25:41There's always a Blackadder and there's always a Bordic.
25:44Yeah, that's very profound, Bordic.
25:46Also, it occurs to me...
25:48Oh, God, there's not more, is there?
25:50..if you're in the right place at the right time,
25:52then every person has the power to go out
25:55and change the world for the better.
25:58God, you really are as thick as clotted cream
26:02that's been left out by some clot
26:04until the clots are so clotted up
26:06you couldn't unclot them with an electric declotter.
26:09Aren't you, Baldric?
26:11Real change comes from huge socio-economic things
26:15that individuals have no effect on.
26:17Unless you're king or prime minister or something.
26:20Oh, yes, I suppose they can make a difference.
26:22But for the rest of us, all we can do in life
26:24is to try to make a bit of cash.
26:28Which is what I intend to do right now.
26:30Hang on.
26:33Did you see...?
26:35Good Lord, Blackadder, what happened there?
26:37Yes, everything went sort of squiggly.
26:40I have, in fact, returned from the past.
26:43You surely don't expect us to believe that, Blackadder.
26:46Clearly that was all some sort of cheap conjuring trick.
26:49On the contrary, darling.
26:51Oh!
26:53Well, bravo, with big brass bells on!
26:56And as a little bonus,
26:58the crown of Queen Elizabeth I of England.
27:00Oh!
27:03Yes! Well done, Blackadder!
27:06But tell me, all this stuff about changing history with time travel,
27:10you must have had to be damn some careful.
27:12Oh, I was. Very careful.
27:14So, Blackadder, tell us, did you hang out with any, you know, big-time celebs?
27:18Well, yes, actually.
27:19For example, this belonged to none other than Robin Hood.
27:23Who?
27:24Robin Hood.
27:26Never heard of him. You'll have to do better than that, Blackadder.
27:29Right.
27:30So you've never heard of Robin Hood?
27:34Well, this is the title page for Macbeth,
27:37signed by Shakespeare himself.
27:41Oh, no, no, no, come on, you've heard of Shakespeare?
27:44He's the fellow who invented the ballpoint pen.
27:48Well, I might have had an effect on one or two things, but nothing important.
27:52Well, never mind, Blackadder, you've certainly won your bet.
27:55So here's your 10,000 francs, and jolly well deserved.
28:00What do you mean, francs?
28:02What do you mean, what do I mean, francs?
28:05Surely you mean 10,000 pounds?
28:09Pounds? We haven't used those for 200 years.
28:12Not since the Emperor Napoleon won the Battle of Waterloo.
28:14Which reminds me, it's time for us to get to the television.
28:17Monsieur le Président will be broadcasting from Versailles any moment.
28:20Are you coming?
28:22No, I might just go on one final little trip.
28:25Oh, no, don't go. You haven't had a bite of the delicious garlic pudding?
28:30After which, I'm going to do a petit peu de ballet.
28:38Right, that's it.
28:42Come on, boulders, we've got to save Britain.
28:52I thought I'd just drop in to wish you good luck with the battle.
28:54You can't lose.
28:56Hello, darling.
29:01There's one question I've always wanted to ask you.
29:04Yes?
29:05How come you're so great?
29:08Because I'm mean.
29:12I'm a very big fan, Bill.
29:15Keep up the good work.
29:16King Lear, very funny.
29:25Good Lord, what happened there?
29:28And here, a front page of Macbeth, signed by Shakespeare himself.
29:33Oh, my God!
29:35That's better.
29:37Well done, Blackadder.
29:39But what about all this stuff about changing history through time travel?
29:43You must have had to be damn some careful.
29:45Oh, I was very, very careful.
29:48Intriguing thought, actually, isn't it?
29:51The smallest thing can change history.
29:54Imagine if Wellington had died before the Battle of Waterloo.
29:56We'd all be French.
29:57Or if someone hadn't invented deodorant, we'd all be smelly.
30:00The tiniest thing can affect the course of human history.
30:04Think what turmoil an unscrupulous person could wreak.
30:08Yes.
30:11Could you excuse me for just five seconds?
30:14Yeah, absolutely.
30:16Why don't you just go upstairs and watch television?
30:19I'll be back very, very soon.
30:21Oh, splendid. But do hurry, Blackadder.
30:23Don't want to miss the big shindig at midnight.
30:25Don't worry. I'll be back.
30:29Waldrick?
30:30I have a very, very, very cunning plan.
30:33Is it as cunning as a fox,
30:35what used to be Professor of Cunning at Oxford University,
30:38but has moved on and is now working for the UN
30:41at the High Commission of International Cunning Planning?
30:44Yes, it is.
30:46Hmm.
30:48That's cunning.
30:51LAUGHTER
30:56Right, here goes.
30:58And now excitement is reaching fever pitch
31:00as the final guests of honour arrive at the dome.
31:03Many of the crowds have been here for up to 36 hours,
31:06waiting for this moment.
31:08And I'm sure they won't be disappointed.
31:11As the great car sweeps into view.
31:14Because here, at last, is the king himself,
31:17Edmund III, universally loved,
31:2098% approval rating across the country.
31:23And with him, his gorgeous new bride,
31:25Queen Marian of Sherwood,
31:27the nation's most famous beauty,
31:29beloved by all.
31:31And here to greet them is the Prime Minister,
31:33unmarried, of course,
31:35but now entering his fifth term of office.
31:37The relationship between the king and his first minister
31:40particularly close nowadays,
31:42since the dissolution of Parliament two years ago.
31:45And what a great partnership these two have become,
31:47leading Britain magnificently
31:49into a prosperous and triumphant new millennium.
32:04As joy fills every Briton's heart
32:08For now our country's going to make it
32:13At last, a king who looks the part
32:17At last, a queen who looks good-natured
32:21La Cana, La Cana
32:25A monarch with her nash
32:29La Cana, La Cana
32:33He's got a nice moustache
32:38Everything he wants, he'll get
32:42The world is now Blackadder's oyster
32:46Those Prime Ministers are wet
32:50But Baldrick, he is even more sinister
32:54Blackadder, Blackadder
32:58A dog who's got his bone
33:02Blackadder, Blackadder
33:07A bastard on the throne
33:11Blackadder, Blackadder
33:15His beard is mixed with coal
33:19Blackadder, Blackadder
33:23He's going to ruin the world
