3. 'Ink and Incapability', one of my personal favourites. Please complete Doctor Johnsons' quote...'A man who can change a Princes' mind is like a dog who speaks_________?'
4. Still with the same episode, Edmund is trying to rewrite the burnt dictionary and is getting nowhere fast, he's looking for a word that starts with the letters 'A B'. What, according to Baldrick, starts with A B?

9. Now onto the final episode. With Prince George fearing for his life, due to the fact that he has an impending duel with the Duke of Wellington on his hands, Baldrick suggests getting someone else to fight the duel for him and then astonishes everyone with this line...'All portraits nowadays are painted to a romantic ideal rather than as a true depiction of the idiosyncratic facial qualities of the person in question'.
