funny how every one is nice and clean and neatly dressed but poor baldrick looks like he has been in the same clothes for the last 100 years and after surviving an attack from a pack of wild dogs
Baldrick hasn't been in the same clothes for the past 100 years. He has however inherited them from his grandfather. The reason why his father didn't inherit them, was because they had to wait for the grandfather to die. Which is why they have two sets of clothes in the family.
almost all of the Enlisted men looked haggard since theyre the once doing patrols on the no mans land all wet and soaked with mud. while edmond blackadder and george well they're officers.
Most soldiers during ww1 had little or no chance of uniform change. They marched out from Britain and literally entered into the frey wearing only the clothes they stood up in. Almost on a regular basis infantry soldiers de louesd their kit on a regular basis by running a candle up and down the seams kill any eggs and thus for a short time prevented infestation. These men suffered from cold and wet to exhaustion and malnutrition but they were expected to fight.
Amazing how on the last moments of the last episode Baldrick actually did have a plan that would work and could save them all (splinters in the ladder - worked as a common excuse back then, to be sent to hospital with a hand or foot infection)
Well, we never did hear WHAT his plan was, for all we knew he could have been planing to carry the ladder across no mans land and swap it for one of the Germans.
Reminds me of a WW2 event we learned in school. A group of near-starving soldiers had been cut off from supplies and could go neither forward nor back. After nearly 5 days barely living off what they could forage they considered surrendering if only because they knew they'd get fed in POW camp. One private piped up with "We could always beat them, if we lose at least we won't have to worry about starving to death". After a few chuckles they decided they might as well go for it. After losing only 2 men (I think there were about 10) they ended up killing an platoon of about 25 soldiers and resulted in breaking a communications line for 2 regiments.
I'm from Tennessee and I've been watching this series for quite a few years, this tops all other comedies I've ever seen. The actors are all first class
It’s one of the all time greats. Also, try Red Dwarf but start from the beginning and go to series 6. These are the two best written, funniest, most satirical, clever comedies ever made in UK.
If you were to serve up one of your meals in staff HQ, you’d be arrested for the greatest mass poisoning since Lucrezia Borgia invited 500 of her closest friends around for a wine and anthrax party
another bald Rick classic, involving food...black adder.."what's for supper baldric"...baldric answered, "it's a local French delicacy, called ratovan"...black adder.."oh really, what are the ingredients"....baldric.."well sir, it's a rat, that's been run over by a van"
Blackadder: Call me unadventurous, Baldrick, but I'm afraid I'll give this meal a miss. Baldrick: 'Sall right, sir. More for the rest us, isn't that right, Lieutenant? George: Certainly is, Baldrick! Tally-ho, BARF BARF!
Blackadder: What’s on the menu tonight? Baldrick: Rat-o-van! Blackadder: And that is... Baldrick: Well, it’s a rat that’s been... Both: ...run over by a van! 😅😂🤣😅😂🤣😅😂🤣

That its hilarious. Funny is funny no matter what side of the ocean you are on. Though I'm sure more then a few will be wondering why Mr Bean is not being silly and wacky.
Looking forward to going over the top, tomorrow, colonel to baldwick, no sir lm frightened, don't worry we be right behind you Black adder, yes about 30 miles behind 😅😅😅

“Yeah, it’s rat that’s been run over by a van.”
Where did they get the van?

The writing for Blackadder was sublime.
So was the cooking, apparently

baldrick has the lowest rank of them. and he is the poorest.
CAPTAIN blackadder, is an officer, and baldric is an enlisted man. The pay difference is enough to buy clean clothes

I like how he put his glasses on to examine the rat
How the rat was presented for inspection.... as if it's a lobster.....or a crab

@@oscarwind4266 nah. He mentioned the splinter. And it was all done specifically at that last moment... it would have saved them.
@@Mr.BednaR No, it would't. Too late. Infection takes a while to set it. They needed to do it days before, not just before they went over the top.

Never underestimate those with nothing left to lose. They'll take actions those who are trying to get through it alive would never consider.
The saddest part is that Baldrick’s cooking isn’t actually that far off what soldiers ate in the trenches when their rations ran out.

Baldrick's cooking may not be up to much but his coffee-substitute is a work of genius!
Ah cappuccino..
Baldrick!
Oh yeah. That mouth watering earthy brew will get to your Head... & Shoulders.
@@Xerxes2005 2 dandruff and a splash of saliva for me Baldrick.

So, they had a cat they forced to vomit all over and over in order to make custard creme.
Just give the cat enough cheese wey and you'll get enough diarrhea if you can't get the cat to vomit enough.
Did you see the size of the cat
Kitten
Rat marinated in a puddle.

I would fancy some of that "wine and anthrax"- party.
This is the first brilliant plan a Baldrick ever had. For centuries we tried and they have always turned out to be total pigswill
I’m glad I understood the Lucrezia Borgia joke
It is simply superb that one
glad to be of assistance :-)
Blackadder: Call me unadventurous, Baldrick, but I'm afraid I'll give this meal a miss.
Baldrick: 'Sall right, sir. More for the rest us, isn't that right, Lieutenant?
George: Certainly is, Baldrick! Tally-ho, BARF BARF!
And then the phone rings and Blackadder answers: “The Savoy Grill…”
*picks up the telephone*
‘Hello, The Savoy Grill!’
😂😂😂

Baldrick: Rat-o-van!

The ogony of choice. I always thought that line was funny as a kid
Ah but I hear his coffee (in particular his Cappuccino) is excellent!
Which is in fact... mud.
Ahh yes, a cup of mud with dandruff (sugar substitute) and saliva (milk substitute).
Enjoy...

Marinated for how long?
Until its drowned
there comes a time in everyone's life when rat is appealing.

"you marinade it in a puddle"
"for how long ?"
"til it is drowned"
I feel like the rat was a sadistic choice, because you'll be vomiting anyway.
Rat meat apparently doesn't taste too bad. Like oily rabbit. As long as it's properly cooked.
yep, what wiseman said. You should look into it. Mouse Trap Mondays made a videa on how to cook a rat.
British cooking in a nut shell
Brilliant I wonder what the Americans think off this comedy.
That its hilarious. Funny is funny no matter what side of the ocean you are on. Though I'm sure more then a few will be wondering why Mr Bean is not being silly and wacky.
@@JounLord1 Yes your correct I wasn't sure that it was available to the America as Mr Bean was very well thought off.

Just Chinese cuisine
Lmao 🤣, I'm surprised to recognise the reference to Lucretia Borgia ,wonder where they came up with it
Because in Europe it was synonym for a poisoner.
I don't know if it still is though.
