Trivia / Blackadder S 2 E 5 Beer

• Fake Brit: An uncredited William Hootkins portrays the Monk yelling “Great booze up!”
• Irony as She Is Cast: Miriam Margolyes, who played the authoritarian and crazily Puritanical Lady Whiteadder, is actually gay, Jewish, and radically left-wing.
• What Could Have Been: Jim Broadbent was supposed to play Lord Whiteadder, again opposite Miriam Margoyles, but was unavailable.
• You Look Familiar: One of Edmund's friends looks pretty much like a megalomaniacal German prince, an idiotic Prince Regent and a bubbly WWI lieutenant.
