From the unmatchable Blackadder II, Edmund teaches Baldrick how to count…

By Richard Curtis and Ben Elton, and starring Rowan Atkinson and Tony Robinson, Stephen Fry, Tim McInnerny and Miranda Richardson, Blackadder II has a special place in my memories of growing up in the 1980s.

It was simply so much funnier than anything else that was on, thanks to the superb writing of insults and twists and the performances of the main players.

This clip in particular is marvellous, and one that many people who have seen the episode remember.
