The classic first series of BlackAdder was slightly different to its successors–Ben Elton was not yet part of the writing team, and Shakespearean parody featured prominently. Rowan Atkinson was at his best as a would-be Machiavellian medieval intriguer while Brian Blessed plays his gloriously over the top blustering militarist father.
The third episode is called "The Archbishop". The King has murdered three successive Archbishops of Canterbury so Blackadder is understandably terrified when he is the next appointment.
Determined not to be the next prelate to be brutally slain in a freak accident, he brilliantly persuades a rich nobleman to donate all his lands to the King and not the Church. However, the King accidentally orders Blackadder's murder anyway.
Blackadder narrowly escapes and is stripped of the title of Archbishop when all three popes realise that he is not suitable priest material.
