Tony Robinson has been knighted at the Queen’s Birthday Honours, while Rowan Atkinson has been made a CBE. I think this calls for a quote from Blackkadder!

From Season 2, Episode 6 [1]The one where the evil German Ludwig (Hugh Laurie) kidnaps and kills them.

Blackadder: Madam, life without you is like a broken pencil.

Queen Elizabeth: Explain.

Blackadder: Pointless.

The screenshots in this blog post has been taken from episode 6 of the second season of the BBC’s Blackadder. I believe that the use of the screenshots shown in this blog post falls under “fair dealing” as described by the UK Copyright service.
