The rather odd thing is, that it ended up being created because they didn't really have enough room in the studio to run very far, so they slowed down the very limited footage they had, and then added on the footage of the field fading between them. It wasn't really originally planned to be done in that way, but that's what they ended up with.
When the series was first proposed, they received some criticism, since people thought that it was belittling a fairly horrific period in history, but that episode has apparently since been shown as part of an otherwise serious sequences of programmes relating to Armistice Day.
It seemed to work very well, and did make a point about the horror of the WW1 trench warfare (not that any warfare is exactly fun and games).

"Thank God! We lived through it! The Great War, 1914 to 1917.."
I've cried every time I've sat down and watched that episode. That one number says so much.

Guys, this isn't a Blackadder thread, please stop spoiling the last episode :psyduck:

Surely talking about a program which ceased airing before I was born could be considered outside of "Spoiler" territory!
P.S. It doesn't end well for Romeo and Juliet.
Method of Madness:
Still, if someone mentions a show and says they plan on watching it soon, it's usually considered impolite to talk about that show's last episode.
