IMHO a lot of this is veering perilously close to Bad jokes and other deleted nonsense
No, Baldrick is a major sociological phenomenon in the UK. The phrase 'a cunning plan' is seemingly ubiquitous... sjc
Also, I'm fairly certain that a "Baldrick" may mean a servant, as the character Baldrick is. But this series is very popular, and Baldrick is a famous character in the UK, as are Rowan Attkinson and Ben Elton in general. That phrase -- "a cunning plan" -- is certainly well-known. -- Sam
I've cut this until we can find a source; I'll ask my housemate (who happens to do research in landmine detection...) — Matt 05:27, 26 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Does anyone else share my belief that the 'proof' of the Fourth Baldrick's stupidity possibly shows he's more clever than he is? 'Very small', indeed.
Wikipedia is not the place for including extensive sections of dialogue. If you want them including, then it will be a better idea to create a wikiquote page. Better still, why not an external link to a fan site with these extracts? By the way I am an arsehat. The JPS 10:08, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
All quotes were moved to Wikiquote article "Blackadder" as per your suggestion. You could have done it yourself rather than attempting to delete them. User:Dimadick
Just to say that I've removed the boldened part of the following sentence......
"The "clever" Baldrick character was ditched after the first series, most probably because it raised the question of "why doesn't Baldrick just plot to get rid of idiots such as Blackadder and take power himself?", a problem for which the first series does not present a solution (despite many situations in which it would be more beneficial to Baldrick to do so)."
...... because it would have been extremely unlikely for an ex-dung shoveller to suddenly become King of a mediaeval, feudalist nation. The times being what they were, and all. I mean, everyone would have noticed, wouldn't they? Yes.

Removed that Baldrick appears in all episodes. According to imdb he misses one in series 1. http://imdb.com/title/tt0084988/ 62.56.116.107 21:46, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
