An episode with a funny gallic flavor. French fever is sweeping London as the French aristocrats are seeking refuge in the city.
Blackadder is not impressed with the new continental flavour. He also mocks the adventures of the Scarlet Pimpernel to Prince George and his foppish friends Lord Smedley and Lord Topper.
Blackadder boasts that he too can nip over to France and bring home an aristocrat.
In fact Blackadder plans to stay in the basement of the palace for a week, pluck a fresh aristocrat from Mrs Miggins pie shop and take him to the French Embassy.
Only for Blackadder to find himself apprehended by a revolutionary and needs rescuing from the Scarlet Pimpernel.
It is an episode that is inspired by the Carry On films. Blackadder is in danger of losing his head. Everyone seems to bash Baldrick and watch out for the suicide pills.
Nigel Planer guest stars as a not very young one aristocrat. Tim McInnerny makes his only appearance in series 3. Chris Barrie has fun as the revolutionary.
