Blackadder: Episode Trivia
TRIVIA GUIDE:
- Goof: After Blackadder has his haircut, the camera zooms in on his foot. He lifts his foot revealing a red tape marker on the floor.
- Goof: When Blackadder beheads King Richard, Richard's head and helmet change position while lying on the ground.
- Goof: When McAngus empties his bag on the table and the head falls on it we see the back of the head is turned against the camera. When it cuts to a close up of the head the head is facing in the direction of the previous camera take. When it cuts again the back of the head is turned against the camera.
- Goof: When the old man is dying he said he killed his father and Edmund said "I know how you feel". King Richard III wasnt his father, Richard IV is.
- Prince Harry: I don't know how I'm going to break it to his catamite.
For those who weren't previously aware, a catamite was often a young boy used for a priest's sexual gratification. - Historical error: Harry and Edmund discuss the mass "accidental deaths" of past archbishops of Cantebury. Apart from Thomas Beckett's famous 1170 murder, most archbishops (even between 1485 to 1498) led prosperous lives.
- There are currently no trivia for this episode.
- When Edmund, Percy and Baldrick are shaved bald, it's really obvious that they're wearing bald wigs.
- Rik Mayall (better known in the series as Lord Flashheart) makes his first appearance in the series in this episode as 'Mad Gerald'.
- The cold opening of "The Foretelling" says Richard IV reigned from 1485 to 1498. This episode starts in 1498, but Edmund is stuck in a cell for an entire year and Richard IV is still on the throne.
