"Have you got a plan, my lord? "

• Blackadder II

"Yes I have, and it's so cunning you could brush your teeth with it."

Queen Elizabeth I was played by Miranda Richardson in this 1986 series and Ted tells me that he remembers the way she, Queen Elizabeth, got her way every time. If anyone did not agree with her she would let out a loud scream.
And what relevance does this delightful snippet of information have to the blog of a dog of vaguely French origins? Well the somewhat tenuous link for this evenings entry is that Eddy does that very same thing. When she wants her own way she lets out a petulant Miranda Richardson, in the role of Queen Elizabeth I in Blackadder II type scream and boy can I attest to the penetrating nature of her young lung power. We Brittanys have very sensitive ears you know and high pitched close quarter screaming makes us sit up and pay attention.
