Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaEbenezer Blackadder is the only incarnation of Blackadder who is not named Edmund.
- GoofsThe Spirit of Christmas played by Robbie Coltrane talks about 'penny farthing sheds." Prince Albert died in 1861. However, the first penny farthing bicycle was built in 1871. So, this incarnation of Blackadder is set prior to 1861. It may be that the spirit transcends space and time and has forgotten that penny farthings do not exist in this era. In any case, Ebenezer Blackadder wouldn't understand what he was talking about.
- Quotes
Baldrick: Well, it went all right until the shepherds came on. See, we haven't been able to get any real sheep, so we had to stick some wool...
Ebenezer Blackadder: On some other dogs!
Baldrick: Yeah. And the moment Jesus got a whiff of them, he's away! While the angel's singing "peace on earth, good will to mankind," Jesus scampers across and tries to get one of the sheep to give him a piggy-back ride!
Ebenezer Blackadder: Scarcely appropriate behavior for the Son of God, Mister Baldrick! Weren't the children upset?
Baldrick: No, they loved it! They want us to do another one at Easter. They want to see us nail up the dog!
- Crazy creditsAfter the list of the cast and crew at the end of the movie, we see the words "A Merry Messy Kweznuz" scribbled, "Kweznuz" replacing "Kwelfnuve" which is stricken out. As Blackadder correctly had noted this is spelling Christmas without getting a single letter right.
- Alternate versionsIn some copies, Baldrick's line "Nah, they loved it. They want us to do another one at Easter - they want to see us nail up the dog" (at 3:23) has been cut.
