synopsis
Again hoping to avoid WWI combat duty, Captain Edmund Blackadder (Rowan Atkinson) destroys the orders for "Operation Insanity" and eats the messenger pigeon. Alas, the bird was a particular favorite of General Sir Anthony Cecil Hogmanay Melchett (Stephen Fry). As a result, Edmund, aka the "Flanders pigeon murderer," faces a court-martial and firing squad. "Plan B: Corporal Punishment" first aired on October 5, 1989.
