Prince
George decides he needs to shake off his reputation as England's greatest thicky,
so he agrees to patronise Dr Johnson's new dictionary. Unfortunately, Baldrick
doesn't recognise the value of the manuscript, which took the finest mind in England
ten years to complete, being unable to read, and he needs something to keep the
fire going.
Review:An opportunity for Blackadder to duel with
England's greatest brains - sarcasm versus arrogance is always a guaranteed laugh,
and this does not disappoint. However, Edmund is handicapped by a thicko Prince
- and an 'always anxious to help' Baldrick. Credits:
