quotes
quote Blackadder: If we lose, I'll be chopped into pieces. My arm'll end up in Essex, my torso in Norfolk and my genitalia stuck up a tree somewhere in Rutland.

quote Blackadder: Run away from the hills! If you see hills, run the other way!

brush up
shakespeare King Richard's opening speech is a comic reworking of the oft-quoted soliloquy from Richard III: "Now is the winter of our discontent..."

King Richard inspires his troops with the heroic words, "Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more..." These were spoken by 's Henry V, not Richard III.

Harry's sorrowful words over the body of his dead uncle, "O! pardon me, thou bleeding piece of earth," are exactly what Anthony says to the dead Caesar in Julius Caesar. He then mysteriously switches to a quote from Hamlet: "And flights of angels sing thee to their rest".

Richard III's return to haunt his killer, Edmund, is reminiscent of Banquo's ghost in .

The three crones who turn up at the end of the episode to tell Edmund that he will be king one day, are inspired by the witches from Macbeth. Their names are Goneril, Regan and Cordelia, the names of King Lear's three daughters.
