Blackadder II 1986 Episode 4 & 5 & 6
'MONEY' & 'BEER' & 'CHAINS'
PLOT
MONEY
Blackadder owes the Bank of the black Monks of St. Herod one thousand pounds and if he doesn't repay it by Evensong the baby-eating Bishop of Bath and Wells will brutally murder him with the aid of a poker.
The boys try various money-making schemes, including putting Baldrick on the game. Sadly, all their efforts are in vain and by the end of the day Blackadder is still broke and facing certain death.
At the eleventh hour, he hatches a plan so cunning you could brush your teeth with it. He hires the finest portrait painter in England, Mr Leonardo Acropolis, to paint the Bishop in a hideously compromising position - with Percy. The blackmail is a huge success, although Percy seems less than thrilled with the whole thing.
BEER
Blackadder promises to hold a rowdy drinking competition with Melchett at his house. Unfortunately, the same night, his aunt and uncle (the two most fanatical puritans in England) have invited themselves over for dinner to discuss his inheritance.
With two parties running simultaneously, there is always the possibility of extreme disaster, especially as the Queen is there in disguise. Blackadder gets hideously sozzled and manages to insult everyone: his aunt vows that he will never get his inheritance, but that's irrelevant as the Queen wants to execute him anyway. Luckily, the magic power of beer makes them all friends again. And Blackadder gets to sing the song about the goblin.
CHAINS
FINAL EPISODE IN THIS SERIES
When Blackadder and Melchett are kidnapped by the evil Prince Ludwig, the Queen is given an impossible choice. She can only pay the ransom on one of them, but which one?
She decides to spend the money on a big party instead.
The boys buy their freedom by giving Ludwig some vital information that will enable him to assassinate the Queen. They tell him that Nursie always goes as a cow at the Queen's fancy dress parties.
The boys escape, rush home, and kill the cow! (How did Blackadder know it was Ludwig in the cow costume? 'Ludwig was a master of disguise, whereas Nursie is a sad, insane old woman with an udder fixation. All I had to do was kill the one that looked like the cow.')
All ends happily until, after the end credits, it is revealed that Ludwig came back, killed the whole court and has now taken over the country disguised as the Queen.
