Edmund Blackadder O.B.E. was a human businessman who worked in a building in Waterloo and owned a home, where Baldrick acted as his butler, at least according to a book.
Biography[[edit] | [edit source]]
After Jonathan Ross remarked that it looked like everybody was joining in for Red Nose Day 1991, Blackadder, seemingly watching the show, denied this, claiming that he hated when people exaggerated on television. He walked to the elevator in the building he was in, and ultimately walked outside, towards a taxi which had been parked outside. He threatened the driver, stating that if he missed his train, he wouldn't miss the driver's backside, and began to get in when a young girl appeared asking for spare change for Comic Relief.
When Blackadder refused, the girl suggested that she tell a joke, and that if he laughed, he would have to donate 50p, to which Blackadder agreed. After hearing the joke, Blackadder called it pathetic and refused to relinquish his 50p before asking what she planned to do with the money. Upon hearing this, the girl pulled Blackadder into another world and got him to hold her crutches while she sat down in a wheelchair.
Blackadder observed that they weren't in Waterloo any more, to which the girl stated that they could go anywhere as it was a comic book. Blackadder remarked that he'd never seen anywhere like the place he was in now, with the girl noting that there was equal access for everyone, unlike in Blackadder's world. As the girl pointed out the basic rights wanted by disabled people, Blackadder continued to have a closed mind regarding the topic, believing that everything should stay as it was. The girl eventually shouted at him before apologising for the outburst, assuming he didn't mean what he'd said, and offering that they both go and get a coffee.
Blackadder later stated that he was dying for a "real man's drink", leading the girl to give an explanation of Comic Relief's work with drug abuse, including alcohol. Blackadder initially believed that alcohol was good for him, before he and the girl stumbled into ad-alley, which showed "the adverts you never see", telling "the other side of the story", showing various negative effects of alcohol, which Blackadder described as disgusting. Brain tissue came out of one victim of alcohol abuse's ear, before attaching to Blackadder, with Blackadder soon getting alcohol amnesia. Ultimately, Blackadder escaped the alley, initially suggesting that he needed a drink, before stating that it could wait.
Later, he and the girl watched through a window into the home of Harry and Pearl, an elderly couple, before walking away.
The girl took Blackadder to an area of London were a homeless child was living in a cardboard box. As it began to rain, Blackadder asked if he come inside, to which the child declined before explaining his story. After hearing the story, Blackadder simply walked away, suggesting that there was nothing he could do to help. Reaching a London Underground train station, Blackadder heard his train leaving, before stating that the motto of his family for centuries had been "Don't get mad, get even. And once you've got even - get revenge.", leading him to take 50p from the girl's mug to make a phone call to his butler, then another 50p for a cup of coffee, and then stated that he'd need to take a taxi, which would cost 13 quid, leaving the girl with nothing and walking away.
Meanwhile, at the BBC Television Centre, "Griff Rhys Jones" stated that there was one person left on his list who hadn't donated to Comic Relief, Edmund Blackadder. Blackadder called for a taxi before imagining a twist on the joke the girl had told earlier, where 20 rabbits were up Baldrick's bottom, leading him to laugh before realising that he now had to give the girl 50p. He gave the girl the money, leading "Griff" to begin to shrink.
Blackadder later walked past the BBC Television Centre, with Ernie greeting him, only for Blackadder to tell him to "@*#% off". Back in his home, he stated that he'd been asked to thank everyone for their contributions to the comic, before telling Baldrick to tell them to sod off, and to hurry up with bringing him his wine. As Baldrick read aloud the credits of the comic, Blackadder threatened that his life was suddenly at risk, and ultimately began searching for his shotgun.
