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.

2. The first scene shows various members of the Blackadder dynasty with actual British historical figures. Which of the following is not one of them?

Answer: Lord Nelson

In the opening scene, a Blackadder stares at Queen Victoria as another makes a rude hand gesture towards Winston Churchill. A third Blackadder is shown to be standing beside Margaret Thatcher and covering his nose while the latter has her arms up in the air (indicating that Thatcher's armpits smelled badly).

3. What, according to Blackadder, was the greatest breakthrough in travel since Mr. Rodney Tricycle invented a machine with three wheels and a bell and named it after himself?

The time machine was actually built by Baldrick, who followed Leonardo da Vinci's instructions to the letter, even though he himself was illiterate!

4. Blackadder travels through time and brings back the front page of one of Shakespeare's plays, autographed by Shakespeare himself. Which play was it?

6. Travelling through time, Blackadder encounters Robin Hood. Give the full name of one of the two Merry Men mentioned by him.

7. Blackadder and Baldrick visit a famous historical battle and end up accidentally killing an equally famous historical person. Which battle was it?

Answer: Battle of Waterloo

Blackadder's time machine accidentally landed on top of the Duke of Wellington, killing him. As a result, Napoleon won the battle and Britain was ruled by France for the next two hundred years. Blackadder went back through time and averted the death of the Duke of Wellington, thus saving Britain.

8. In Roman times, when Blackadder's ancestor was defending Hadrian's wall, Consul George thought that a large orange hedge was moving towards them. What actually was the "hedge"?
