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.

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.
