Prince George incurs the wrath of the Duke Of Wellington.
This is an excellent episode with a hilarious cameo from Stephen Fry and presents comedy with typically dark end to a Blackadder series.
The plot is a fateful ticking clock as the central characters await the arrival of Wellington the subsequent duel referenced in the episode title. It sets up some very humorous situations.
The banter between the central characters and Wellington is some of the funniest in the show. These are simple punchlines but effective and succeed as much at satirising the historical characters as it does making me laugh.
All actors are excellent with Rowan Atkinson (in a duel performance) Tony Robinson and Hugh Laurie on great form. It is Stephen Fry who steals the show with his turn as the aggressively over the top caricature of Wellington. Some of his lines are so memorable and quotable they stay with you forever.
