Series: 3 Episode: 5
First broadcast on 15 October 1987. Featuring Warren Clarke as Josiah Hardwood and Miranda Richardson as his daughter Amy.
As ever, the Prince is terminally short of cash, so he is persuaded to marry the fantastically wealthy heiress, Miss Amy Hardwood.
Having wooed her heart for the Prince with a lot of drippy poetry, Blackadder is disgusted to learn that the Hardwoods have been lying about their fortunes from industry, and in fact have been living off lard butties for five years.
The royal wedding is off. Amy reveals to Blackadder that she is in fact the famous highwayman, The Shadow.
Blackadder's cash-flow problems are over: he tips off the authorities and collects a £10,000 reward.
