Holly de Jong as Mrs. Farrow. Queen Elizabeth orders Blackadder to let her see her husband...whom he had executed early.


Baldrick is to wear a bag and impersonate Farrow.


Blackadder explains to Mrs Farrow that her husnabd has graciously agreed to wear a bag, so that the other inmates won't be jealous of him seeing his wife.


Baldrick is too short, so Blackadder puts on the bag.

Fortunately, Baldrick killed the wrong man, Farrow is alive, Ponsonby is dead.


Queen Elizabeth wants to see Ponsonby beffore he's executed the next day, but he was executed earlier - in mistake for Farrow. "She'll realize...he's deeeaaaad." excaims Blackadder. They need a cunning plan.


Blackadder dons bag again to impersonate Ponsonby, who only had one leg.
