Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Why didn't Baldrick get the job of village idiot of Kensington?

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.

2. Which of these names does Blackadder not call his cousin McAdder?

Answer: Deranged lunatic

McAdder looks exactly like Blackadder except for the kilt, bagpipes and huge red wig. He is head of the Clan McAdder, which consists of himself, Jamie and Angus. Angus is a girl.

3. Complete the quote: "He come in here playing the bagpipes, then he made a haggis, sang 'Auld Lang Syne' and..."

Answer: punched me in the face

McAdder reportedly punched Baldrick because Baldrick called him something rather rude.

4. Wellington is happy that the Prince Regent has become romantically involved with members of his family.

Answer: False

Arthur Wellsley, the Duke of Wellington, challenges the Prince to a duel because Prince George spent the night with two of his nieces.

5. Complete the quote from Wellington: "When a man soils a Wellington, he..."

Answer: puts his foot in it

Wellington writes this memorable line in his letter to the Prince challenging him to a duel.

6. What gift does Wellington bring for the Prince?

Answer: Cigarillo case

The case has an emblem of two crossed dead Frenchman on it. Sounds lovely...

7. Who played Wellington in this episode?

Answer: Stephen Fry

I particularly like the way he shouts "Baaaaaah" for no apparent reason.

8. What does McAdder do for a living, when he's not travelling south for rebellion?

Answer: Kipper salesman

He's a "top kipper salesman with a reputable firm of Aberdeen fishmongers".

9. Blackadder pretends to be the Prince and fights the duel in his place. What do he and Wellington duel with?

Answer: Cannons

According to Wellington, "only girls fight with swords". Consequently, Blackadder is still reading the instructions that came with his cannon while the Duke fires at him. Luckily his cigarillo case is in his pocket and protects him from being killed by the cannon ball.

10. When King George III arrives at the scene of the duel, who or what does he say he wishes the Prince to marry?

Answer: A rosebush

The King has a strong German accent and is completely mad. He doesn't notice that his son has been replaced by Blackadder, and that the real Prince is lying dead on the floor. Presumably, Blackadder takes the place of the Prince permanently. As he walks off he says to Baldrick "Clear away that dead butler." Ooh, what a heartless man he is. I hope you've enjoyed my "Blackadder the Third" quizzes. Thank you for playing.
