Synopsis by Hal Erickson
The curtain fell on the satirical British sitcom Black Adder the Third with the episode titled "Duel and Duality." Accused of deflowering the two favorite nieces of "famous soldier" the Duke of Wellington (Stephen Fry), the Prince Regent (Hugh Laurie) is challenged to a duel. Ever anxious to curry favor, Edmund Blackadder (Rowan Atkinson) offers to take the Prince's place on the field of honor -- and then arranges for his Scottish cousin McAdder to take Edmund's place. "Duel and Duality" was first broadcast on October 22, 1987.
