Episode Notes
 
This is the only Blackadder series finale in which Rowan Atkinson (Captain Edmund Blackadder) has the last line: "Good luck, everyone."
 
Rowan Atkinson (Prince Edmund/Captain Edmund Blackadder), Tony Robinson (Baldrick/Private S. Baldrick) and Tim McInnerny (Lord Percy Percy/Captain Kevin Darling) are the only actors to appear in both this episode and "The Foretelling".
 
Although General Melchett (Stephen Fry) tells Captain Darling (Tim McInnerny) that he has become like a son to him, Fry is in fact one year younger than McInnerny.
 
 
Episode Quotes
 
General Melchett: I'll just have to sit this one out on the touchline with the half-time oranges and the fat wheezy boys with a note from matron, while you young bloods link arms for the glorious final scrum down.
 
George: (to Baldrick) Whatever you do, don't excite him.
Blackadder: Fat chance.
 
Baldrick: I could go on all night.
Blackadder: Not with a bayonet through your neck!
 
(The trench phone rings)
Blackadder: Hello? The Sommes Public Baths - no running, shouting, or piddling in the shallow end
 
Blackadder: Now ask me some simple questions.
Baldrick: What is your name?
Blackadder: Woobble.
Baldrick: What is two plus two?
Blackadder: Oh; woobble woobble.
Baldrick: Where do you live?
Blackadder: London.
Baldrick: (looks confused) Eh?
Blackadder: A small village on Mars, just outside the capitol city of...Woobble.
 
Blackadder: Well, George, I strongly suspect that your long wait for certain death is nearly at an end. Surely you must've noticed something in the air.
George: Yes, of course, but I thought it was Private Baldrick.
 
Blackadder: Well, I'm afraid it'll have to wait. Whatever it was, I'm sure it was better than my plan to get out of this by pretending to be mad. I mean, who would have noticed another madman round here?
 
George: You know, I won't half miss you chaps after the war.
Baldrick: Don't worry, Lieutenant; I'll come visit you.
George: Will you really? Oh bravo! Yes, jump into the old jalopy and come down and stay in the country, and we can relive the old times.
Blackadder: What, dig a hole in the garden, fill it with water, and get your gamekeeper to shoot at us all day?
 
Blackadder: (final words before going over the top) Good luck everyone.
 
Blackadder: (upon realizing there is no way he can avoid going over the top) I think the phrase rhymes with "clucking bell".
 
 
Episode Goofs
 
Blackadder says he only met Field Marshall Haig once: "it was twenty years ago." When he calls Haig, he talks about the Battle of Mboto Gorge in 1892. However, that would place their first meeting at 25 years before, since all episodes of the series are set in 1917.
