The
Duke of Wellington challenges the Prince to a duel after the latter made sexual
advances to the Duke's nieces. Blackadder agrees to fight the Duke in the
Prince's place, in exchange for the Prince's entire fortune, an amusing clock
and a stack of French porn. Blackadder intends to cheat. The Duke fires
a cannonball straight at Blackadder's chest, and his life is only spared by the
metal cigarillo case that got in the way. The Duke declares that honour is satisfied,
and promptly murders the real Prince for his insolence ...
Review:The
Duke of Wellington (rather overplayed by Stephen Fry), is a bullying bigot who
has no time for the foppish Prince - and not much time for Blackadder, either.
But he's too good a soldier to fall for one of Blackadder's cunning plans, forcing
Our hero to go for plan B; Not the cleanest of endings for a series, but a good
episode just the same. Credits:
