- Quotes
Blackadder: [Arthur wants Blackadder to tell him a children's story because he misses his mother] And then Squirry the Squirrel went "Ni, Ni, Ni" and they all went home for tea.
Arthur the Sailor: Thanks very much, me ol' shivering mateys! Now, how much do you charge for a good hard shag?
Blackadder: [nervously] A thousand pounds.
Arthur the Sailor: A thousand pounds? You've got to be joking!
Blackadder: Well, I'm sure we could negotiate.
[Tosses soliciting placard to Baldrick]
Blackadder: [next scene: back at home] Right, so we've got sixpence.

I love the scene of the wild man talking to Blackadder at the grave site, the humour is utterly surreal but wonderful.
Fun performance from Ronald Lacey, a prolific and much missed actor, he made the Bishop of Bath and Welles a very memorable character. A shame he died so young.
It isn't my favourite episode of all time, but it's still hugely funny, it's nice to see Edmund taken down a peg or two by someone other then the Queen. 8/10
