Blackadder/Recap/S2/E03 Potato: Difference between revisions

Sir Walter Raleigh has returned from the New World and everyone's thrilled...except for Edmund Blackadder, of course. After he can't take anymore of everyone hero worshipping Raleigh, Edmund plans to take off on his own voyage into the Sea of Certain Death. He packs his bags, gets his 'crew' together and hires a captain, but after bidding a tearful farewell to Queenie, reveals he was just planning to sail to France and TELL everyone he discovered a new world. All the better, because Captain Rum doesn't know how to get to France anyway. In fact, he doesn't know how to get anywhere <ref> hmm, maybe he needs [[Tom Baker|his]] [[Doctor Who (TV)|TARDIS]].</ref> Our heroes are lost at sea, but just as they're about to resort to drinking their own urine to survive they spot land! After a thankfully off screen encounter with cannibals, where Captain Rum makes a lovely second course, our heroes return in once peice, with gifts for Queenie and Nursie, but nothing for Melchett and Raleigh. Well, nothing but some very pungent wine they picked up at sea, of which there is an inexhaustible supply...
