Blackadder (1986)
1 quote from show generally
Plot hole: In 'The Foretelling', it is said that Richard IV reigned for "13 glorious years" with a caption showing 1485-1498. 'The Black Seal' starts on St. Junipers' Day, 1498, but Blackadder spends 12 months locked up with Mad Gerald. So when the Royal Family are finally murdered it is actually 1499.
Trivia: BlackAdder was recently voted the second best British comedy, losing to Only Fools and Horses.
Question: Many times during the series, Lieutenant is pronounced as 'Left-tenant'. Why?
