* FunnyAneurysmMoment: The episode opens with a darkly comic depiction of the Battle of Bosworth Field and even has a scene where Edmund takes one look at the fighting and decides to run away, all played for laughs. [[BookEnds The final episode also deals with war]] but plays it completely straight, and this time Blackadder doesn't get away.

* GeniusBonus: Edmund, Percy and Baldrick's conversation about Edmund being very "witty" makes a lot more sense if you know "wit" was an Elizabethan euphemism for penis, and Edmund's enormous codpiece makes him VERY witty indeed!
