All 6 episodes from the third series:
DISH AND DISHONESTY:
Blackadder takes on the task of saving
his master from bankruptcy.
Unfortunately, attempts at interfering
in the democratic process don't quite go
according to plan as Baldrick is
accidentally elevated to the House of
Lords.
INK AND INCAPABILITY:
When "thick as a whale omelette" Prince
George is approached by Dr Johnson with
a view to patronising his new
dictionary, Blackadder is, at first,
unimpressed. But as Johnson's enthusiasm
for a novel by a certain "Gertrude
Perkins" becomes clear, the royal
butler's attitude changes. However, he
hasn't bargained for the monumentally
brainless Baldrick.
NOB AND NOBILITY:
With Francophilia and Scarlet
Pimpernalia sweeping England following
the French Revolution, Blackadder's
intense dislike for anything Gallic
seems somewhat out of place. But the
lure of pecuniary advantage can do
strange things to a man's principles.
Meanwhile the Prince Regent has terrible
trouble getting his trousers on.
SENSE AND SENILITY:
With anarchists lurking everywhere,
Blackadder suggests that it might be
opportune for his master to make a
speech sympathetic to the proletariat.
But when they hire two actors to give
Prince George some oratorical training,
the "mouse-brained" Baldrick apparently
discovers an extravagant plot to murder
the Prince, who is wearing some very
large trousers indeed.
AMY AND AMIABILITY:
Penury stalks the corridors of the Royal
Palace, and the only answer is a
marriage of financial convenience for
the Prince Regent. Unfortunately, that
idea backfires and Blackadder is forced
into a highwayman's life with dogs-body,
Baldrick as his trusty steed.
DUEL AND DUALITY:
After a night of debauchery with the
Duke of Wellington's two neices, the
Prince Regent is challenged to a duel by
the big-nosed general. During a
momentary lapse into semi-coherence,
Baldrick thinks of a plan.
