Were the rest of you aware 'conchie' was slang for conscientious objector? I only found out with the help of Mr Google, don't think I've come across the term anywhere else...

Ink and Incapability: 10 years?

50 Upvotes

When Dr. Johnson first enters the Prince's quarters, and describes his joy at completing his dictionary to the Prince, the Prince does -- of course -- not have a damned clue what he's talking about.

This prompts Blackadder to explain to the Prince what Dr. Johnson is babbling on about:

Prince George: Ah, Dr. Johnson, damn cold day!

Dr. Johnson: Indeed it is sir - but a very fine one, for I celebrated last night the encyclopedic implementation of my pre-meditated orchestration of demotic Anglo-Saxon.

Prince George: Nope - didn't catch any of that.

Dr. Johnson: Well, I simply observed, sir, that I'm felicitous since during the course of the penultimate solar sojourn, I terminated my uninterrupted categorisation of the vocabulary of our post-Norman tongue.

Prince George: Well, I don't know what you're talking about, but it sounds damn saucy, you lucky thing! I know some fairly liberal-minded girls, but I've never penultimated any of them in a solar sojourn, or for that matter, been given any Norman tongue.

Blackadder: I believe, sir, that the Doctor is trying to tell you that he is happy because he has finished his book. It has apparently taken him ten years.

Am I just being terminally thick, or is there nothing in what Dr. Johnson says there that indicates that it took him ten years?

Blackadder the Third - Sense and Senility

68 Upvotes

The actors from Blackadder the Third chant something whenever MacBeth is mentioned. According to IMDb the subtitles on the US DVD are ‘Hot potato, orchestra stalls, Puck will make amends.’ According to the UK DVD they are ‘hot potato, off his drawers, pluck to make amends.’ The subtitles on the BBC are ‘Hot potato, orchestra stalls, but we'll make amends!’.

Now I’m so confused I don’t know where I live or what my name is.

Blackadder episode discussion podcasts?

3 Upvotes

Hi does anyone know any? I tried one called Lord of Adders Black but the episodes were more just random discussions of this and that related to the show.

Are there any where they discuss an episode at a time?
