I'm not a huge 'Blackadder' fan, unlike many millions of people in the UK and across the world. I am however a fan of this final episode of the show.
The reason for this is that it can easily stand alone from the rest of the series, and indeed the whole saga, and manages to combine an awful lot of wit, with actually some very unexpectedly poignant moments. This show throughout its run tackled the hardship of war, but in this episode in particular they really went to great lengths to treat it seriously.
If you ever only see one episode of this show, make it this one.
