Blackadder, Mistress Ploppy and others in “Unfinished Business”

Now then, woman - if indeed, you are a woman - what is your function on Death Row?

I'm the last meal cook, sir. The prisoners may ask me for what they fancy for their last meal.

And you cook for them what they desire?

Oh, yes sir...provided what they ask for is sausages. Otherwise, they tend to get a tiny bit disappointed; sausages is all I got.

You are clearly a woman of principle and compassion, Mistress...ah...

Ploppy, sir.

Ah, so you are married to...? [gestures towards Ploppy the gaoler]

No, no.

No, many people think that, but it's pure coincidence. We did laugh when first we found out! "Good morning, Mistress Ploppy", he'd say, and I'd say "good morning..."

[in unison] "...Mr. Ploppy!" [both laugh]

The long winter evenings must just fly by.
