From Quiz The Blackadder Specials

Answer: Pumpkin

Although Sir Edmund Blackadder pointed out that Baldrick's cunning plan wasn't "1% convincing", he eventually was forced to go through with it when he, as the executioner, had no other cunning plan immediately available.

2. "Blackadder: Back & Forth" starts with the names of its producers, which include "Blackadder Films" and which other fictitious company?

From Quiz Blackadder: Back And Forth

Answer: Baldrick Dodgy Catering Company

The opening credits start with "Blackadder Films in association with Baldrick Dodgy Catering Co. Present..". Baldrick's dodgy culinary skills are further elaborated on later in the episode when he serves Blackadder's house guests, his own phlegm spread over an avocado.

3. What was the name of General Melchett's pigeon which was shot and then eaten by Blackadder?

From Quiz 'Blackadder Goes Forth'

Blackadder saw the pigeon as an addition to his diet, but was promptly court-marshalled and sentenced to death by an outraged Melchett. He escaped this fate despite a mix-up between Baldrick and George.

One does wonder if they derived Keanrick's name from the famous Kean...

From Quiz 'Duel and Duality'

Answer: He went to the interview

Blackadder and Baldrick are talking about how they can better themselves. Baldrick applied for the job and got down to the last two applicants, but didn't get the job because he went to the last interview. The other person was so stupid he forgot.

From Quiz 'Amy and Amiability'

Answer: He has run out of money

Prince George has grown fond of playing cards and has lost all his money. The only way for him to get money is to marry someone rich. This, of course, suits Blackadder as he wants a wage rise and needs the Prince to be rich again.

Answer: Mossop and Keenrick

David Keenrick and Enoch Mossop are very bad actors who wear too much make-up and believe that to make a speech sound better, one should roar before speaking.

Prince George is concerned about the noblemen of France being killed and imprisoned in case the oppressed masses of England get the same ideas and try to overthrow him.

12. Prince George is approached by Dr. Samuel Johnson about patronising his new book. What kind of book is it?

From Quiz 'Ink and Incapability'

13. According to Blackadder, how many people in Manchester are eligible to vote?

From Quiz 'Dish and Dishonesty'

Answer: 3

Blackadder thinks it's right that only a few people have the right to vote, as giving people like Baldrick the vote would be a disaster.

From Quiz "Goodbyeee"

Answer: "that brown stuff you sprinkle on top."

Captain Darling specifically asked for "three lumps" and to "make it a milky one". When Baldrick gave him his cup of coffee (a cup of mud with dandruff and saliva), CPT Darling commented "Oh, a cappuccino. Do you have any of that brown stuff you sprinkle on top?" When Baldrick went to look, CPT Blackadder grabbed him and told him "no". Bailey's was never mentioned in the episode.
