Captain Cook (Blackadder) Captain Cook (Blackadder) "Captain Cook", or "Plan A: Captain Cook", is the first episode of "Blackadder Goes Forth", the fourth series of the BBC sitcom "Blackadder". The episode starts with Blackadder and Baldrick discussing the latter's latest feeble cunning plan: namely, Baldrick carving his name on a bullet to get around the fact that "there's a bullet with [his] name on it". Lt. George enters and provides Blackadder with a copy of the propaganda magazine "King and Country", which Blackadder uses for toilet paper, and a new service revolver. Blackadder deduces from these ominous signs that an advance against the
Blackadder: The Cavalier Years danger, immediately rises from his seat, ready to take action. But it is too late; Roundheads are already at the Hall's doors demanding his surrender. Sir Edmund explains to Baldrick that there is no choice for a man of honour but to stand and fight, and die in defence of his future sovereign. However, as a Blackadder, he was never a man of honour. Passing the prince to Baldrick, he proceeds to remove his long black hair (which was apparently a wig), his false moustache and beard, to reveal a Roundhead appearance – short blond hair and a clean-shaven face.
