A grating scraping noise is coming from one of them as the other looks over annoyed. BlackAdder: Baldrick, what are you doing? Baldrick: Well sir, They say that every man has a bullet with his name on it." Blackadder: And?

"Baldrick, go get the door" and he continues. A moment later Baldrick appears clumsily fumbling with... the front door. In exasperation Blackadder prounounced, "Baldrick, I'd advise you to make you next emplanation phenomanally good." Baldrick: You said to get the door my Lord. 694078@blogcritics.org Fri, 8 Feb 2008 21:55:59 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/02/07/214720.php#comment-694077 Baldrick "I have a cunning plan Lord Blackadder!" Adder: "Yes Baldrick, before you devulge the details, let me remind you that you also had a cunning plan to solve your mother's low ceilings by cutting her head off!" 694077@blogcritics.org Fri, 8 Feb 2008 21:51:22 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/02/07/214720.php#comment-694076 You are entirely welcome and very kind. Acorn media are releasing quite a few British gems, including Hugh Laurie's 2003 series Fortysomething. I will be reviewing that one in a couple of months in advance of its release.
