Baldrick: I've been working out with the work house nativity play.

Ebenezer Blackadder: Of course, how did it go?

Baldrick: Well not very well, at he last moment the baby playing Jesus died!

Blackadder: Oh dear, this high infant mortality rate's a real devil when it comes to staging quality children's theatre. What did you do?

Baldrick: Got another Jesus.

Blackadder: Oh thank goodness, and his name?

Baldrick: Spot. There weren't any more children so we had to settle for a dog instead.
