Everyone
in Britain is mad with admiration for the Scarlet Pimpernel, who has been bravely
rescuing French aristocrats from the clutches of evil revolutionaries. The
scornful Blackadder accepts a bet that he can rescue an aristo himself. Of course,
actually going to France would be too dangerous, so Blackadder simply picks up
a French toff at Mrs Miggins' coffee shop. Review:I found this
one to be a bit weak; the plot was a silly as ever, but actually looked silly,
a rarity in Blackadder! The verbal sparring felt a bit formulaic, and generally
not up to speed. Credits:
