02:30You may go now.
02:31I believe you've got some other duties to attend to.
02:35Oh, yes.
02:37Excuse me, please, everybody.
03:07Sorry.
03:09Thank you, darling.
03:09Yeah.
03:10Because I've just built one.
03:12Stuff and stunts.
03:14I've heard some rubbish in my time.
03:17Every time I open my mouth, as a matter of fact.
03:19But a time machine?
03:21It's just cobblers.
03:22I can assure you it is not.
03:24This is an original sketchbook by Leonardo da Vinci.
03:28And in the last year, I myself have built a time machine to his exact specifications.
03:34Ladies and gentlemen, the greatest breakthrough in travel since Mr. Rodney Tricycle thought to himself,
03:40I'm bored with walking.
03:42I think I'll invent a machine with three wheels and a bell and name it after myself.
03:47Behold, the time machine.
03:53Well, glaze my nipples and call me Rita.
03:56It can't be real, Blackadder. It's a practical joke, surely.
03:59Certainly not.
04:00When was the last time I played a practical joke?
04:02Well, there was the time you said you were dying of kidney failure,
04:04and I donated one of my kidneys to save your life,
04:07and then you said it was an April Fool and we had to throw my kidney away.
04:12Well, yes, there has been the odd, hilarious, practical joke.
04:16But not this time.
04:18This is a working time machine.
04:20And to prove it, I suggest a wager.
04:24I will bet you each ten thousand pounds that I can travel through time
04:30and bring back any items of historical interest which you choose to nominate.
04:37Darling?
04:38Well, yes, all right.
04:39Yes, if you can travel through time, I'll pay up.
04:43So long as you bring back with you a genuine Roman centurion's helmet.
04:48Very well.
04:50A Roman centurion's helmet.
04:53No, no, that's much too easy.
04:55What about the actual Wellingtons actually worn by Wellington?
05:00On the day he won the Battle of Waterloo.
05:03Lady Elizabeth would like the actual Wellingtons worn by the Duke of Wellington
05:07on the day he won the Battle of Waterloo.
05:11Anyone else?
05:12Oh, yes.
05:13Oh, yes.
05:14Ah, yes, I've got one.
05:14I want you to get, I'd like to see you get your hands on these,
05:18an ancient, reeking, stinking pair of 200-year-old underpants.
05:2318th century body-huggers, that's the ticket.
05:30Very well.
05:31I shall be on my way.
05:32This will, of course, take no time at all in your time.
05:35I shall merely step in, there will be a momentary shuddering,
05:38and I will emerge triumphant.
05:43Farewell, dear friends.
05:48Well done, Baldus, this is very impressive.
05:50I'm sorry that I didn't have time to build it myself.
05:52Don't worry, my lord, I followed Mr. Da Vinci's instructions to the letter.
05:56Even though you can't actually read.
05:58That's right, my lord.
05:59But I have done a lot of airfix modules in my time.
06:02Right, so look at the Centurion's helmet.
06:04Very good.
06:06And the boots.
06:07Excellent.
06:09The underpants, where are the underpants?
06:10Oh, here you are, my lord.
06:12They're my very best pair.
06:14And, coincidentally, all some are very worst.
06:17So they are, in fact, your only pair of underpants.
06:19That's right, my lord.
06:21Oh!
06:22I took a slip of the bag!
06:24Oh, my god!
06:25Oh!
06:30Right, let's get all this stuff going, shall we?
06:33Right, my lord.
06:34Yes.
06:36Right.
06:37I'll shake it about a bit.
06:39Make it look real.
06:40The best New Year's Eve prank ever.
06:48Here we go.
06:49You hide there.
06:51£30,000.
06:52Here I come.
06:59Right.
07:01Interesting.
07:02What's happening, my lord?
07:04Well.
07:07For God's sake, do something, Baldrick.
07:12Something useful.
07:14Something just throw.
07:15Shoot, go on, go away.
07:18No!
07:20Soccer-cow-cow-cow-cow-cow-cow-cow-cow-cow-cow-cow-cow-cow-cow-cow-cow-cow-cow-cow
07:37-cow-cow-cow-cow-cow-cow...
07:56fascinating one of history's great mysteries solved the dinosaurs were in fact wiped out
08:03by your parents well this is a turnip for the books you have built a working time machine
08:11and are therefore rather surprisingly the greatest genius who has ever lived
08:15thank you very much my lord right let's get out of here shall we no problem my lord
08:26can you set the date so we can get home yes turn that there pull that there we set that
08:31there
08:32pull this lever like that and the date should come up but unfortunately it doesn't because i was going
08:39to write the numbers on in felt tip pen but i never got around to it right
08:45so the date we're heading for is two watermelons and a bunch of cherries that's right my lord
08:51in other words we can't get home not as such excellent
08:59rather a spectacular return to form after the genius moment waldrick
09:05still i think someone with common sense ought to be able to resolve this all we've got to do is
09:09put
09:09these controls back to where they were when we first set off i think that was about there
09:19and that should get us home excellent you threw away our winning items waldrick but at least we're home
09:32typical they must have got bored and gone back for pudding
09:39right now you're not going to believe that

18:27the english have reached waterloo
18:30good prepare to attack
18:31very well
18:33but first i would like to ask
18:35why do we want to invade britain in the first place
18:38i mean their wine is made of the peepee of cows
18:41and their women all have big beards
18:43we invade darling
18:45because the british think they are so tough
18:47they think we french are sissies
18:49they call us weeds and whoopsies and big girls blouses
18:52with respect my emperor
18:54we are whoopsies
18:55we invented the tapestry
18:57the souffle and the sweet liqueur
18:59we will be slaughtered the minute we mince up the hill
19:03do not despair
19:03it is my firm belief that god hates the british
19:07he will intervene miraculously
19:09and send us a glorious victory on this field of waterloo
19:13oh bravo
19:16the lovely uniform today by the way
19:18oh thank you i think it works

19:32but results in the complete destruction of the french army
19:36splendid well tell me at once your grace and i'll spread the news to the truth
19:38very well the plan is
19:40god i'm brilliant you know i surprise myself sometimes i really do
19:43yes the plan is
19:45yes to allow the french to come within a hundred yards of us and then
19:48and this is the completely original and brilliant part
19:51yes
19:52then
19:54your grace
19:58the duke of wellington is dead
20:01whoops

20:18why don't we try pressing this button
20:24well fingers crossed
20:29what can you see borders
20:31people in very short skirts my lord
20:34ah excellent the 1960s at last we're getting close
20:38i might stay a while actually for a bit of hippie free love
20:42not that free love would make a lot of difference to you would it boulders
20:45i mean what would a sheep do with money
20:47not girls in skirts my lord men
20:50ah spandau ballet 1983
20:52i think not my lord
20:55but
21:00romans
21:00we're still centuries out
21:02come on let's go
21:04although i might just steal myself a roman helmet while we're here
21:09that's interesting
21:10the machine seems to be seeking out our dna across time
21:13just brilliant
21:14what our centurion
21:16we're facing a horde of ginger maniacs
21:18with wild goats nesting in their huge orange beards
21:21or to put it another way
21:23the scots
21:24and how does our inspired leader hadrian
21:27intend to keep out this vast army of lunatics
21:29by building a three foot high wall
21:33a terrifying obstacle
21:34about as frightening as a little rabbit with the word boo painted on its nose
21:39ooh
21:40oh come now centurion i won't have that
21:43this wall is a terrific defense mechanism
21:45why surely not suggesting that a rabble of scots could get the better of roman soldiers
21:55welcome general
21:56splendid
21:59good to see you practicing your english
22:01georgias
22:20did you hear that boulders
22:22i certainly did oh centurion
22:24back to rome at last
22:26say this is interesting
22:28there appears to be a large orange hedge moving towards us
22:33that's not a hedge consul
22:35that's the scots
22:49perhaps we could negotiate
22:51last one there gets hacked to pieces by rod stewart's great great grandfather
23:04let's get home
23:05we don't know where home is
23:07we're doomed to float through time for all time
23:12oh woe is me
23:15shut up boulders shut up
23:17there is one final thing to push which may be our salvation
23:21or not because it is in fact a lollipop
23:25raspberry flavored my lord
23:27oh god
23:29i'm gonna spend the rest of my life in a small wooden room with two toilets and the stupidest man
23:36in the world
23:37wait my lord do not despair
23:39can i say i'm not optimistic
23:47to be quite frank my lord neither am i my family have never been very good at plans
23:53so with suitably low expectations what is your cunning plan to get us home
23:57well my lord you know how when people drown their whole life flashes in front of them
24:03yes
24:04well if you stuck your head in a bucket of water
24:08and didn't bring it out again
24:09then your whole life would flash in front of you
24:12and you'd see where all the knobs and levers were when we first set off
24:16and then if you pulled your head out again
24:19just before you died
24:21you could guide us home
24:24Aldrich
24:25my lord
24:27good plan
24:28with perhaps just one tiny modification
24:40how's it going
24:41i'm 18 years old
24:42i've just left nursery school
24:43okie dokie
24:52i'm 25
24:53i'm back at nursery school
25:11got it
25:12very good
25:12i wish
25:14i wish i flushed the loo first
25:18ah yeah
25:20as we approach the end my lord
25:23what do you think we've learnt on our great journey
25:26good question
25:27baldrick
25:28i suppose i've learnt that i must buy you a much stronger mouthwash for christmas this year
25:33how about you
25:34oh i don't know
25:36i suppose i've learnt that human beings have always been the same
25:39some nice some nasty
25:41some clever some stupid
25:43there's always a blackadder and there's always a baldrick
25:46yes very profound baldrick
25:48also it occurs to me
25:50oh god there's not more is there
25:51if you're in the right place at the right time
25:54then every person has the power to go out
25:57and change the world for the better
25:59god you really are as thick as clotted cream
26:03that's been left out by some clot
26:06until the clots are so clotted up
26:08you couldn't unclot them with an electric declotter
26:11aren't you baldrick
26:13real change comes from huge socio-economic things that individuals have no effect on
26:19unless you're king or prime minister or something
26:21oh yes i suppose they can make a difference
26:23but for the rest of us
26:25all we can do in life is to try to make a bit of cash
26:30which is what i intend to do right now
26:32hang on
26:35did you see
26:36good lord blackadder what happened there
26:39yes everything went sort of squiggly
26:41i have in fact returned from the past
26:45you surely don't expect us to believe that blackadder
26:47clearly that was all some sort of cheap conjuring trick
26:50on the contrary darling
26:54oh bravo with big brass bells on
26:57and as a little bonus
26:59the crown of queen elizabeth the first of england
27:06well done blackadder
27:08but tell me all this stuff about changing history with time travel
27:12you must have had to be damn some careful
27:14oh i was very careful
27:16so blackadder tell us did you did you hang out with any you know big time celebs
27:20well yes actually for example this belonged to none other than robin hood
27:25who
27:27robin hood
27:27never heard of him
27:29you'll have to do better than that blackadder
27:31right
27:32so you've never heard of robin hood
