Trivia / Blackadder S 1 E 5 Witchsmeller Pursuivant

• Throw It In!: During filming, Frank Finlay accidentally misread part of Black Satin's supposed confession, mentioning "a gallon of stable boy's blood" instead of "a barrel of stable boy's blood" (the latter of which can be seen on the confession letter when he holds it up to the camera). Despite Finlay noticeably pausing on the word "gallon" when he realized his mistake, he managed to salvage the take by loudly repeating the word as though for emphasis, before continuing with the rest of the line.
