Line 160: This takes place at the time of the [[English Civil War]]. It is a short episode, shown as part of [[Comic Relief]]'s [[Red Nose Day]] in 1988. The 15 minute episode was set in November 1648, during the last days of the [[English Civil War]]. Sir Edmund Blackadder and his servant, Baldrick, are the last two men loyal to the defeated King [[Charles I of England]] (played by [[Stephen Fry]]. They have given refuge to the King in Blackadder Hall. Edmund remains loyal because as a known royalist he sees the King as his only hope of survival and also because of his fear of a hideous age of [[Puritanism]], full of moral prohibitions (as he describes it). However, due to a misunderstanding between [[Oliver Cromwell]] and Baldrick, the King is arrested and ~~send~~sent to the ~~tower~~[[Tower of London]]. The rest of the episode revolves around Blackadder's attempts to save the king, as well as improve his standing. :BBC One, Friday [[February 5]], [[1988]], 9.45–10pm
