Horrible Histories: Woeful Second World War: Mary of Exeter, War Pigeon
Season 1 Episode 2
Captain Edmund Blackadder:
Come on George, with 50,000 men getting killed a week who's going to miss a pigeon? (shoots the pigeon dead)
Lieutenant The Honourable George Colthurst St Barleigh MC:
Well, not you, obviously, sir.
Captain Edmund Blackadder:
In any case, its's scarcely a court martial offence. Get plucking, Baldrick.
Private Baldrick:
Alright, sir. Look, it's got a little ring 'round it's leg, there's a novelity!
Lieutenant The Honourable George Colthurst St Barleigh MC:
Oh really, is there a paper hat as well?
Baldrick:
No, but there's a joke. Read it out, sir.
Lieutenant The Honourable George Colthurst St Barleigh MC:
It's a bit charred. Something something at once..PS, due to communication crisis, the shooting of carrier pigeons is now a court-martial offence. I don't see what's so funny about that, sir.
Captain Edmund Blackadder:
That's not funny, it's deadly serious, we're in trouble. So, I shall eat the evidence for lunch and if anyone asks you any questions at all, we didn't receive any messages and we definitely did not shoot this plump breasted pigeon.
