Set in England during the reign of Elizabeth I. Edmund, Lord Blackadder, is a Tudor courtier attempting to win the favour of the Queen while avoiding the fate that befell many of her suitors.

1. Bells

Blackadder gains a new young servant called Bob, and for some reason, falls for him. When he discovers that Bob is a girl named Kate, he wishes to marry her, much to Queenie's confusion.

2. Head

After being made the Queen's head executioner, Blackadder relishes his new position. However, a simple change to the execution schedule leads to catastrophic results when a prisoner, Lord Farrow, is executed two days early, only for his wife to wish to visit him, and then for the Queen to pardon him.

3. Potato

In the wake of Sir Walter Raleigh's return and as an attempt to impress the Queen, Blackadder plans to go on a voyage to the Cape Of No Hope, where no man has ever returned, and he might marry the Queen if he returns. Blackadder hires the flamboyant Captain Redbeard Rum to accompany them, who has lost his legs and seems to think that everything belongs to a woman.

4. Money

Blackadder is threatened by the baby-eating Bishop of Bath and Wells, who demands that Blackadder pay back the £1000 he once borrowed from the Bank of the Black Monks, or the Bishop will shove his heated poker up Blackadder's bottom. With Blackadder having to pay the Queen each time he falls for her stupid tricks, things look bleak for him, until he comes up with a plan so cunning you could brush your teeth with it.

5. Beer

Blackadder discovers that his ludicrously puritan aunt and uncle Whiteadder are coming to visit him on the same night that he is having a party and a drinking contest with Lord Melchett, which he had made a bet on. Also, Queenie plans to sneak into the party to find out what happens on Boy's Nights Out.

6. Chains

Blackadder and Melchett are kidnapped by a German mastermind known as Prince Ludwig the Indestructible, and held for ransom. Queenie must decide whether Blackadder or Melchett should go free.
