The more i watch the first season the more i like it. There are at times boring scenes, however they make up for it with greating directing, acting, producing and costuming. This episode takes a satirical look on the corruption of the church during the middle ages. The funniest scene of the first season comes in this episode where Baldrick and Blackadder decide to make some money out of the position they were in. Fabrications likes the Shroud of Tourin and relics from Jesus' capentary (including a cross) are used to overwhelm people into spending money. Blackadder eventually gets ex-communicated from the Church, much to his enjoyment and has to relinquish the role of Archbishop.
The first season might not be the best written it still is the most adventerous.
