Blackadder finds himself in hot water when his boasting about his capacity to drink – compared to that of Melchett – is called into question, and challenged to be proven! Two problems: 1) Blackadder can’t drink; and 2) He’s expecting his fervently religious aunt and uncle, the Whiteadders, for dinner, in order to discuss his inheritance.

| This episode marks the first appearance of Hugh Laurie (Simon Partridge) on the series. He later played Prince Ludwig in "Chains", Prince George in Blackadder the Third and Lieutenant The Honourable George Colthurst St. Bartleigh in Blackadder Goes Forth.
| Along with "Chains" and "General Hospital", this is one of only three episodes of the series in which Rowan Atkinson, Tony Robinson, Tim McInnerny, Stephen Fry, Hugh Laurie and Miranda Richardson all appear. However, they all also appear in Blackadder: Back & Forth together.

| Blackadder: Which reminds me, Auntie...
Lady Whiteadder: Don't call me 'Auntie'. (Lady Whiteadder slaps him) Aunt is a relative and relatives are evidence of sex, and sex is hardly a fitting subject for the dinner table.
Blackadder: Or indeed, any table.
Percy: Except perhaps a table in a brothel.
| Elizabeth: I may have the body of a weak and feeble woman, but I have the heart and stomach of a concrete elephant.
Simon Partridge: Prove it!
Queen Elizabeth: I certainly will. First I'm going to have a little drinky, and then I'm going to execute the whole bally lot of you
| Lady Whiteadder: Chair?! You have chairs in your house?
Blackadder: Oh yes.
Lady Whiteadder: (Slaps Blackadder on either cheek) Wicked child! Chairs are an invention of Satan! In our house, Nathanial sits on a spike.
Blackadder: And yourself?
Lady Whiteadder: I sit on Nathanial. Two spikes would be an extravagance.
| End Song:
Blackadder couldn't hold his beer
The art of boozing he's not mastered
And I, your merry balladeer
Am also well and truly plastered
Blackadder! Blackadder!
A bit like Robin Hood
Blackadder! Blackadder!
But nothing like as good
Blackadd*hic*! Blackadd*hic*!
I thought that he had died
Blackadder! Blackadder!
Our writers must have lied

| Blackadder says that the ideal guest for his drinking party should be "an aggressive drunken lout with the intelligence of a four year old, and the sexual sophistication of a donkey" and Percy suggests, "Cardinal Wolsey?" In reality, Thomas Cardinal Wolsey died in 1530, twenty-eight years before Elizabeth I became Queen.
| Blackadder threatens to call the police if Percy says "hey nonny nonny." The British police force was not established until 1821 by Sir Robert Peel.
