    Blackadder III, the Amy and Amiability sketch was a classic.
    Clarke played Mr Hardwood, Amy’s father.

    Mr H: “I’d rather take off all my clothes and paint my bottom blue than give her to a man who didn’t love her!
    Edmund Blackadder : What self-respecting father could do more ?
    H: On the other hand, if he’s a prince, he can have her for ten bob and a pickled egg.
    E: I can see where your daughter gets her ready wit, sir.
    H: I thank you.
    E: Although where she gets her good looks and charm is perhaps more of a mystery.
    H: No one ever made money out of good looks and charm.
    E: You obviously haven’t met Lady Hamilton, sir.
