Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Which historical event is the basis for this episode?

Answer: French Revolution

Prince George is concerned about the noblemen of France being killed and imprisoned in case the oppressed masses of England get the same ideas and try to overthrow him. He and his friends are big fans of the Scarlet Pimpernel, an enigmatic figure risking his life to rescue members of the French nobility.
2. What are the names of Prince George's friends, who challenge Blackadder to rescue an aristocrat from France?

Answer: Topper and Smedley

Topper and Smedley are a pair of foppish noblemen who are too cowardly to go to France themselves but are great admirers of the Scarlet Pimpernel. When Blackadder invites them to come to France with him, they come up with ridiculous reasons why they are unavailable.
3. Why does the Prince's friend claim he has no choice but to go to a funeral?

Answer: He's the best man

Topper says he can't go to France because his father's just died and his funeral's the same day. Smedley says he can't go either because he's the best man. Makes no sense, but it's quite funny.
4. What is the name of the French aristocrat Blackadder hires to pretend to have been rescued from France by himself and Baldrick?

Answer: Frou-Frou

He actually finds him in Mrs. Miggins' Pie Shop, eating "huge suspicious-looking sausages".
5. Who plays the "Ambassador", the man guarding the cell Blackadder and Baldrick find themselves in when they reach France?

Answer: Chris Barrie

Chris Barrie played Rimmer in "Red Dwarf". He does a good imitation of vomiting in this episode.
6. Who arrives to torture Blackadder, Baldrick and the French nobleman?

Answer: Madame Guillotine

"Prepare to be in pain!"
7. When someone takes a suicide pill, which one of these things do they NOT do before they die?

Answer: Sing a song

First they get angry, then forgetful, then extremely happy, then jump into a corner, before finally getting round to dying. There isn't an antidote, and Blackadder first accidentally kills Smedley thinking he's Madame Guillotine, then kills Topper, which isn't an accident.
8. Which name is Blackadder not called at the end of the episode by the Prince's friend?

Answer: Scoundrel

Topper says he hopes the information about how he was hired to pretend he had been rescued while disguised as a French nobleman, will lead to the imprisonment of a man who is "a liar, a bounder and a cad".
9. Complete the quote; "What's the bloody point of being the Scarlet Pimpernel if you're going to fall for the old..."?

Answer: poisoned cup routine

Blackadder complaining to Baldrick about Smedley drinking the wine with a suicide pill in it.
10. Which item of clothing has the Prince Regent still not managed to put on properly by the end of the episode?

Answer: Trousers

Throughout the episode the Prince is shown struggling to get dressed by himself in Blackadder's absence.
