decides he needs to shake off his reputation as England's greatest thicky, so he agrees to patronise Dr Johnson's new dictionary. Unfortunately, Baldrick doesn't recognise the infinite value of the manuscript, which took the finest mind in England ten years to complete, and he throws it on .

George: Why, only the other day Prime Minister Pitt called me an idle scrounger. It wasn't until ages later that I thought how clever it could have been to have said, "Oh bugger off, you old fart!" I need to improve my mind Blackadder. I want people to say, "That George, why he's as clever as a stick in a bucket of pig swill."
