Black Adder

In the trenches on the front, Edmund vows that he's damned if he's doomed. When GeneralHaig unveils his new strategy to move his drinks cabinet nearer to Berlin, Blackadder volunteers to be Official War Artist.

In 13 years of service to King and Country, Edmund has faced danger - from tackling an over spiced curry in Nepal to confronting 200,000 grass-skirted men in Mombassa. But now he is truly in a pickle.

Bad news reaches the trenches. The October Revolution in Moscow has produced three appalling results: a cease-fire by Russia, an offensive by Germany and a Charlie Chaplin impression by Baldrick.

Blackadder joins the Royal Flying Corps in order to escape the trenches. When he crashes behind the enemy lines with Baldrick, Lord Flashheart battles the Red Baron in order to rescue them.

Edmund is given three weeks to find a spy in the hospital. He takes this as an opportunity to get on with the lovely Nurse Mary and to spend the better portion of those weeks in bed.

Edmund and Lt. Barley share a nice rat stroganoff in their tent when word arrives that tomorrow morning the troops are going "over the top." Could a feigned bout of insanity put Edmund on the road to Calais?
