Actually, I could use some help with that one. I think Melchett was the character Fry played in Blackadder, but for one, he seems much younger in this sketch, and for the other, I don't see any obvious relationship with the Vatican.JinnTolser wrote:Awesome!

Melchett was indeed his character in Blackadder. If I remember correctly, he was a Bishop (presumably Anglican, considering it was set during Elizabethan times), which might go a little way to explaining the "vs. the Vatican" court case.Ail wrote:Actually, I could use some help with that one.

So, what's the joke here? Oh, and why should he be naked? Is it just for the gag?
