The episode of "Blackadder II" in which Edmund finds it necessary to  
put on a small dinner party to impress his Puritan aunt and uncle,  
whose fortune he hopes to inherit, in one room of his house, while  
simultaneously holding a drinking orgy to protect his [alleged]  
reputation as a roisterer, in another. Highlights include a turnip  
shaped like a thingy, a thingy allegedly shaped like a turnip,  
Puritans that would rather sit upon spikes than chairs, and other  
Puritans if they can't get a good spike.
