The cultural impact of that Blackadder episode:
Daily Telegraph diary entry from 2008: Bishop of Bath and Wells' Lingering torment of Blackadder The legacy of the BBC's Blackadder, the historical and satirical television series, continues to torment the present Lord Bishop of Bath and Wells, the Rt Rev Peter Price. by Tim Walker: Edited by Laura Roberts 07 December 2008 • 9:56pm In his maiden speech in the House of Lords he said: "In the aftermath of the Blackadder television series, there are always perils for the bishops of Bath and Wells. "I am constantly reminded of the alleged activities of one of my predecessors as a baby eater... Entering your Lordships' House has proved no exception, and the greeting from the Doorkeeper on my first day was capped only by the Right Reverend Prelate the Bishop of Southwark seeing my five week-old granddaughter arrive and remarking, 'The bishop has brought his own lunch'."
