| 39. Remember the last episode of Blackadder Goes Forth? |
|
All the Blackadder tales ended with the entire cast dead. It called for weird plot twists in the first three series.
In the series based on the Western Front, no fantasy was needed. The Generals demanded a Big Push & all the characters realized they were not long for the world. There was a bit of pathos amid the usual hilarity.
Then they all went Over the Top into a cloud of gunfire.
