- Quotes
Blackadder: [Arthur wants Blackadder to tell him a children's story because he misses his mother] And then Squirry the Squirrel went "Ni, Ni, Ni" and they all went home for tea.
Arthur the Sailor: Thanks very much, me ol' shivering mateys! Now, how much do you charge for a good hard shag?
Blackadder: [nervously] A thousand pounds.
Arthur the Sailor: A thousand pounds? You've got to be joking!
Blackadder: Well, I'm sure we could negotiate.
[Tosses soliciting placard to Baldrick]

There was a line that was said by a sailor at the docks and he just gasped and said. I thought you were not allow to say things like that on television.
Another classic episode full of humorous scenarios and one liners. A big performance from Ronald Lacey as the Bishop of Bath & Wells.
He is the perverted assistant manager of the bank and he has come to collect the debt of £1000 that Blackadder owes. If Blackadder does not have it. It is red hot poker time.
The only problem. Blackadder does not have it and everytime he has a bit of money be it from prostitution or selling his house, the Queen takes it from him.
Blackadder has no option but to play dirty, rely on his cunning, he needs a quick sketch artist and a willing participant.
