[edit] Summary
When General Haig unveils his new strategy to move his drinks cabinet six inches closer to Berlin, Blackadder volunteers to be the Official War Artist.
[edit] Plot
General Melchett needs a piece of art for the front cover of the magazine King and Country. Having suggested that the chosen artist should be allowed to leave the trenches for Paris, Captain Blackadder proceeds to take credit for Lt. George's painting. Melchett then reveals that chosen artist will in fact go into no man's land and draw the enemy positions. With the help of George and Pvt. Baldrick, he returns with a made-up sketch. Melchett orders an attack anyway, which the three avoid by dressing up as Italian chefs and substituting themselves for General Melchett's chef.
[edit] Significance
This is the only episode from all four series to feature no one other than the regular cast.
