Richie and Eddie are visited by the Gasman to read their meter, which is illegally connected to their next door neighbor Mr. Rottwhiler's gas supply. When Richie and Eddie pretend that they don't use gas and do not know what Gas is and accidentally kills the Gasman. Richie and Eddie set out to disconnect their illegal connection from Mr. Rottwhiler's flat, before they get into trouble with the Gas Board.

Gasman: How do you keep it so warm?

Richie: We make love!

....Er, not with each other - on our own!

Blackadder: No, sir, it is not. It's the most pointless book since How To Learn French was translated into French.
Prince George: You haven't got anything personal against Johnson, have you Blackadder?
Blackadder: Good Lord, sir, not at all. In fact, I had never heard of him until you mentioned him just now.
Prince George: But you do think he's a genius...?
Blackadder: No, sir, I do not. Unless, of course, the definition of "genius" in his ridiculous Dictionary is "a fat dullard or wobblebottom; a pompous ass with sweatly dewflaps".
Prince George: Ha. close shave there, then. Lucky you warned me. I was about to embrace this unholy arse to the royal bosom.
Blackadder: I'm delighted to have been instrumental of keeping your bosom free of arses, sir.

Blackadder's Christmas Carol.
Censored version
There is sometimes an edit towards the beginning of the episode, after Baldrick talks about the dog in the Nativity Play. Blackadder asks him "Weren't the children upset?" and Baldrick responds "Nah, they loved it. They want us to do another one at Easter. They want to see us nail up the dog." Most of this line is cut from video and most DVD releases.The earliest known case of this edit was on 2 January 1998, the same version being used for later terrestrial broadcasts at Christmas 2007, 2008 and in 2010. The line is also missing from the Ultimate Edition boxset.

The Bleak Old Shop Of Stuff.
Anybody familiar with Radio 4's Bleak Expectations,will no doubt have caught this,another dose of Dickensian comedy,although not as good as the radio series it certainly made me laugh.And it was really great seeing Richard Johnson as Uncle Writes Prompt Thank still going strong.

The Bleak Old Shop Of Stuff is a new four-part comedy adventure set in the Dickensian world of Jedrington Secret-Past, the up-standing family man and owner of The Old Shop of Stuff, Victorian London's most successful purveyor of miscellaneous odd things.

All BOTTOM fans must check out the live shows, in even worse taste and knob gags aplenty, tho loose use of the 'C' and 'F' word and anti monarchy taken to a new level(in the 2nd show) mean not for the kiddies(odd, but the tv series is kinda kid friendly in a warped way) my favorite episode of the tv series is the Christmas episode, Richie getting battered as Santa and a Christmas dinner from Hell make it prerequisite Xmas telly, and Halloween's a hoot too.
