Character
Although as time goes on Blackadder's social standing tends to go down, this Lord Blackadder is similar to Lord Blackadder of Blackadder II and Mr. E. Blackadder of Blackadder the Third in both standing and wit. At the beginning of the special, Lord Blackadder is planning to scam his friends using a fake time machine. However, he learns to his surprise that the machine, built by Baldrick after plans by Leonardo Da Vinci, actually works. In the aftermath, Lord Blackadder manages to match wits with Robin Hood, Queenie, and William Shakespeare and comes out on top in every situation. Ultimately, he manipulates history so that the Blackadders replace the British Royal Family.
