It’s time to test that jumble of stuff in your head again! And this week, at the request of one of TVScoop’s finest readers, I’ll be doing a Blackadder special! Think you know it inside out? Let’s find out!
1. In 1485, who came up with the name “The Black Adder”?
2. Who said: “Don’t be ridiculous, Baldrick. You know me. I mean, I laugh in the face of fear and tweak the nose of the dreadful spindly killer fish.”
3. Rik Mayall is playing who?

4. Who played: Queen Elizabeth I, The Shadow and Nurse Mary Fletcher-Brown?
5. What was Melchett’s nickname for ‘Georgina’ (aka George)?
Click over for the answers. This week was a toughie… how did you do?
1. It was Baldrick!
2. Lord Percy
3. Lord Flashheart
4. Miranda Richardson
5. Chipmunk because he thought ‘her’ nose looked like a chipmunk’s.

Oh thank you, thank you
I feel a bit less like a silly blond, knew 4 this time.
I knew Baldrick, Percy, Miranda Richardson and chipmunk, but I wasnt sure about Rik Mayall, then I remembered they all had the same names through the centuries… he was most memorable (to me at least) in Blackadder goes Forth
I’m so ashamed! This is one of my favourite shows and I did terribly!
Fact is ,fans can easily recall many of the lines ,but seldom so good at details.
I missed 5 too.
And I confess I love the song’little goblin’ and ‘BEER’ very much!
