Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. According to Blackadder, how many people in Manchester are eligible to vote?

Answer: 3

Blackadder thinks it's right that only a few people have the right to vote, as giving people like Baldrick the vote would be a disaster.

2. What is the name of the rotten borough that the Adder party takes control of in order to stop the Prince Regent from being struck from the civil list?

Answer: Dunny-On-The-Wold

Dunny-On-The-Wold is home to just three cows, a chicken and a small dog.

3. Who is the candidate for Member Of Parliament for the rotten borough representing the Adder party?

Answer: Baldrick

Baldrick is chosen as candidate because Blackadder has complete control over his actions and apparently "doesn't have a personality". Sir Talbot Buxomley was the MP for Dunny-On-The-Wold until his death, which led to there being an election.

4. What does Prime Minister Pitt call Blackadder when he is offered some jelly?

Answer: A lower middle-class yobbo

When Blackadder offers the jelly, the Prime Minister replies "Don't patronise me, you lower middle-class yobbo!... What flavour is it?"

5. Complete the quote: "If you want something done properly..."

Answer: kill Baldrick before you start

Sums up Blackadder's attitude to Baldrick through the last three series of the show, really.

6. What is the name of the candidate representing the "Standing at the back dressed stupidly and looking stupid" party?

Answer: Ivor Biggun

His full name given in the episode is Ivor "Jest ye not Madam" Biggun. His party's policies include "free corsets for the under-fives and the compulsory serving of asparagus at breakfast".

7. What sort of dog is Colin, one of the few residents of the rotten borough?

Answer: Dachschund

Prince George is shown holding Colin when he is interviewed about the election. Bless.

8. How many votes did the Adder Party receive in the election?

Answer: 16,472

Despite the fact there was only one voter, Blackadder himself, Baldrick received 16,472 votes.

9. Complete the quote: "You look as happy as a man who thought a cat had done its business on his pie but it turned out to be..."

Answer: an extra big blackberry

A charming quote from Prince George to Blackadder.

10. What does Blackadder do to Baldrick as a punishment?

Answer: Puts him on a spit

Mrs. Miggins, the woman from the pie shop, is shown turning a spit, to which poor Baldrick is tied. He has a milk-jug smashed over his head in another episode in the series.
