- Quotes
Lord Flasheart: All right men, let's do-oo-oo it! The first thing to remember is: always treat your kite
[Flashheart taps the picture of the Sopwith Camel with his cane]
Lord Flasheart: like you treat your woman!
[Flashheart whips the air with his cane]
Lieutenant George: How, how do you mean, Sir? Do you mean, do you mean take her home at weekends to meet your mother?
Lord Flasheart: No, I mean get inside her five times a day and take her to heaven and back.
Captain Blackadder: I'm beginning to see why the suffragette movement want the vote.
Lord Flasheart: Hey! Any girl who wants to chain herself to *my* railings and suffer a jet movement gets *my* vote!

The writing continues to be on point, a hilarious script, absurd setting, but just enough to make you think what life really would have been like.
It's an absolute riot of an episode, totally off the wall, and different to the previous three episodes. Hilariously funny, with some incredible one liners, but there is a little bit of sadness attached to this one, we see more of Blackadder's fears of life in the trenches.
Great to see the comedy duo of Mayall and Edmondson reunited, and of course it's great to see the return of Lord Flasheart. The pair are wonderfully big and brash, both so funny.
Once again every scene with Darling is painfully funny, and he finally gets his just desserts.
Super funny, 9/10.
