[edit] Summary
The Russian Revolution produces two more appalling results: an offensive by Germany and a really offensive Charlie Chaplin impression by Baldrick.
[edit] Plot
The Russians have pulled out of the war. In order to prevent an uprising from the troops, Melchett asks Blackadder to organise a cabaret to boost the men's morale, which features Baldrick's Charlie Chaplin impression and Lt. George's drag act, "Gorgeous Georgina". Melchett also asks his driver, Corp. "Bob" Parkhust, to aid Blackadder. Blackadder immediately notices that "Bob" is a girl in disguise, something that Melchett remains entirely unaware of. The first night of the show is a success, but unfortunately Melchett falls in love with "Georgina" and proposes to her. Blackadder is forced to replace George with Parkhust and the show is soon cancelled when Melchett claims that Parkhurst is the least convincing drag act ever.
[edit] Significance
This episode contains the first re-appearance of the character "Bob" a woman dressed as a man
