Storyline
It is 1917, and lunatic General Sir Anthony Cecil Hogmanay Melchett is leading the British troops at the front lines against the Germans, while everyone waits for Field Marshall Haig's big push. There are various emotions throughout the camp about it. For Captain Kevin Darling, Melchett's bull-dog-like right-hand man, it makes no difference, as it appears he will be safe and sound with the general when the big push occurs. For Lieutenant George Colhurst Saint Barleigh, he is overly excited at thrashing the Germans. For Private S. (probably for Sod-Off) Baldrick, it's a terrifying experience he is not looking forward to. For Captain Edmund Blackadder, however, it's something he's too cowardly too face. Self-centered, arrogant, and sarcastic, Blackadder is always constantly searching for a way out of this silly war, and will try various, often crazy, variations on escape... Written by Bloggers!

[Blackadder doesn't react - there's a long pause]
Lieutenant George: ...Sir
Captain Blackadder: Yes, Lieutenant.
Lieutenant George: I'm scared, sir
Private Baldrick: I'm scared too, sir
Lieutenant George: I'm the last of the tiddly-winking leapfroggers from the golden summer of 1914. I don't want to die... I'm really not over keen on dying at all, sir.
Captain Blackadder: How are you feeling, Darling?
Captain Darling: Ahm- not all that good, Blackadder. Rather hoped I'd get through the whole show, go back to work at Pratt and Sons, keep wicket for the Croydon Gentlemen, marry Doris. Made a note in my diary on the way here. Simply says: "Bugger".
Captain Blackadder: Well, quite.

rendition of the main theme, and the scene shifts slowly to a shot of a
real-life WWI trench, as it appears today -- a poppy-decked hill with the
trench only barely visible. There is no ending credit roll, and instead,
the Blackadder Goes Fourth logo and the BBC logo and copyright date appear
unobtrusively in a corner. See more »

Trivia
Tim McInnerny's character was originally named Captain Cartwright. Stephen Fry had the idea to change it to Darling (named after a boy at his school) and created a running gag which is frequently used throughout the series. See more »Quotes

Crazy Credits
The end credits for the final episode are abrupt. After we see Blackadderand co. go over the top to their deaths, the music goes to a slow, mournful
rendition of the main theme, and the scene shifts slowly to a shot of a
real-life WWI trench, as it appears today -- a poppy-decked hill with the
trench only barely visible. There is no ending credit roll, and instead,
the Blackadder Goes Fourth logo and the BBC logo and copyright date appear
unobtrusively in a corner. See more »
