Edmund hates show business with a passion. This until Melchett plans to stage a revue to boost morale, with this being a golden opportunity for him to leave the trenches. His plan goes well, until George's drag act catches the General's eye.

* AccidentalInnuendo: Melchett, when introducing "Bob" to Blackadder:
-->Well then, Bob, I'll leave you two together, why don't you get to know each other, play a game of crimmage, have a smoke, something like that. They tell me that Captain Blackadder has rather a good line in rough shag. I'm sure he'd be happy to fill your pipe.

* Creator/BusterKeaton: Baldrick does a "feeble impersonation" of him (to the General's mind at least, he's actually trying to be Creator/CharlieChaplin).
* Creator/CharlieChaplin: Impersonated by Baldrick at the show. To Edmund, he is as funny as getting an arrow in the head... and learning there's a gas bill tied to it.
