Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which name is that of one of the actors?

Answer: Keanrick

One does wonder if they derived Keanrick's name from the famous Kean...

2. What special person plays the anarchist?

Answer: Ben Elton

Yes - the show's creator plays the anarchist. An interesting twist, eh?

3. What does George originally call Blackadder?

Answer: Thicky Black Thicky Adder Thicky

Amusing? Yes. Intelligent? No. Ah, yes, the Prince of Wales...

4. What does Blackadder say that disease and deprivation stalk our land like?

Answer: two giant stalking things

Oh, so true (and one of my favorite lines).

5. What does Baldrick not clean with?

Answer: cloth

And, indeed, he was only spring cleaning, even if he looked like the unwashed, anarchistic masses.

6. What was the title of the actors' play?

Answer: The Bloody Murder of the Foul Prince Romero and His Enormous Bosomed Wife

A very gory and large bosomed play, though Keanrick did say that the "The violence of the murder and the vastness of the bosom are entirely justified artistically". Did anyone else notice that the play rhymed?

7. How many times did Blackadder say Macbeth?

Answer: 10

And each time he says Macbeth, they are forced to chant "Hot potato, off his drawers, pluck to make amends" to balance the curse of Macbeth in the theater. For those who don't know, a long standing tradition in thespian pursuits is that one is not to say "Macbeth" in a theater unless you are performing it.

This is for various reasons, one of which is the belief that saying Macbeth invokes spirits and bad tidings, because of the nature of the play and its involvement with witches. This belief was strengthened when, in various occurrences, problems and disasters ensued while performing Macbeth.

8. Where did Blackadder accept a post?

Answer: Sardinia

Yes, Blackadder to work for Napoleon - what a scary thought, indeed.

9. For how long was Blackadder gone?

Answer: 4:22

Baldrick now owes Blackadder a groat.

10. According to Baldrick, finish Blackadder's famous phrase: "When the going gets tough..."

Answer: the tough hide under the table

Not a very good idea, though, if you're in trousers as large as Prinny's!
