Those look ready to stab the shit out of a horse. Did they not want to keep their horses long?

I was going to say, poor horsey. Those must have penetrated deep.

Almost seems like something fitting for Blackadder 1 or 2.

The first series would have worked in particular, in which he wore that beyond-ridiculous codspiece. I’d say it worked pretty well, given that he was such a sniveling coward in the first series. 😄

Do you have a favorite ep, PJ?
Looks like they removed a lot of them from YT, but I still found my favorite here:

I do love how in every season they impressively rework the opening theme in to whatever the genre of the current series is. Also, bonus pts for Blackie starting out as a perfectly lovely bloke in the beginning of the one above. (and great cameos, too)

No episode in particular - though if I had to choose an episode, it would doubtlessly be from Season 4.

Not my favorite period season, but IMO arguably the best, quality-wise:
