Head is the second episode episode of the BBC period comedy Blackadder (Blackadder II).
[edit] Plot
Blackadder, the newly appointed Lord High Executioner, decides to execute a prisoner, Farrow, early, to give himself some time off. He has to pretend to be the prisoner when the Queen allows Farrow's wife to visit her husband in prison before his scheduled execution. When the Queen pardons Farrow and decides to visit him, it looks bleak for Blackadder. Fortunately, Baldrick has executed the wrong prisoner and Blackadder is saved.
[edit] Trivia
- Head and Bells were shown in the wrong order, Percy has a beard in Bells but shaves it off, however in Head he has a beard again.
- When Blackadder writes the execution schedule, he mentions Sir Francis Drake.
- Later in the episode, when Queenie professes her fondness for Blackadder, he replies "As you were fond of Essex...right up until you had his head cut off."
