Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. An easy one to start. Who played the character of 'The Black Adder' ?

Answer: Rowan Atkinson

Rowan Atkinson played Edmund (The Black Adder) in all of the shows, from when it started being aired in 1983 on British television.
2. Tony Robinson played one of my most favourite characters in the shows. Which character was this?

Answer: Baldrick

Baldrick was the general dogsbody of Blackadder. He seemed to get more stupid as the series progressed!
3. Who is Blackadder originally betrothed to, in the first series, to please his father?

Answer: The Spanish Infanta

Princess Maria of Spain is not what Edmund would have considered to marry and he tries everything in order to get out of it.
4. Did Blackadder die at the end of the third series?

Answer: No

In the third series, Blackadder did not die. He ended up taking the place of George as Prince Regent, whilst George (played by Hugh Laurie) was killed by Wellington.
5. When describing the comedy of Charlie Chaplin, Edmund describes him as?

Answer: 'As funny as getting an arrow through the neck and discovering there's a gas bill tied to it.'

In the final series Blackadder was put in charge of putting on a show to boost the men's morale. Unfortunately for him, the army's idea of humour just didn't match his.
6. Hugh Laurie played the part of George in the third series. Whose dictionary did he want to be patron of?

Answer: Dr. Samuel Johnson

The dictionary got burned (well, it did get burned eventually) and Blackadder decided to rewrite the entire book to save his hide. Robbie Coltrane played Dr Johnson in this episode.
7. Who said the following lines: "Yes you are to be congratulated, my friend, we, we live in an age where illness and deformity are common place and yet Ploppy, you are without a doubt the most repulsive individual that I have ever met. I would shake your hand but I fear it would come off. "

Answer: Black Adder

Blackadder got the lucky job of being Lord High Executioner.
8. When Nursie revealed her real name in the show, what did she say it was?

Answer: Bernard

Nursie revealed her first name as Bernard during the second series.
9. What/who was it that Black Adder shot that led him to be standing in front of a firing squad in the final series?

Answer: Speckled Jim

Blackadder definitely did shoot and eat that "delicious plump breasted pigeon". Unfortunately for him it was the General's own pet.
10. What colour elephants did Queenie insist on Melchett describing for her?

Answer: Orange

Melchett insisted that elephants were usually grey, but of course Queenie wins (because she always does!). Queenie was played brilliantly by Miranda Richardson.
