Trivia
When Prince George talks about a large eagle circling the room and Duncan's horses turning and eating each other, it is a reference to Macbeth.

Goofs
Although King George III of Great Britain was also Elector (later king) of Hanover, he was more British than German. George probably spoke English without an accent since he was born in England and never visited Germany.

Quotes
Blackadder: He's madder than Mad Jack McMad, the winner of last year's "Mr. Madman" competition.

Duel and Duality

The Prince Regent has upset the Duke of Wellington by soiling the honour of his two nieces.

The Duke has challenged the Prince to a duel and Blackadder has a cunning plan.

He will pretend to be the prince. Then Blackadder will swap places with his mad look-alike cousin from Scotland called McAdder.

Another zany and funny episode. Great slapstick as the Prince pretending to be a butler is smacked about by both the Duke and Blackadder.
