however, despite his noticeable flaws, this baldrick has more success than any of the others. in an election rigged by blackadder, he is elected member of parliament for dunny-on-the-wold, a rotten borough, although he was intended to be a puppet for blackadder to manipulate (blackadder's political opponents succeed in manipulating him instead). he is later made a lord by prince george, and is therefore eligible to sit in the house of lords – whether or not he ever does so is another matter, as he is never again referred to by his title after episode 1. baldrick also succeeds where no baldrick has succeeded before or since, in calling blackadder "a lazy, big nosed, rubber-faced bastard".
