Blackadder:
Remember you mentioned a clever boyfriend?

Nurse Mary:
Yes.

Blackadder:
I leapt on the opportunity to test you. I asked if he'd been to one of the great universities: Oxford, Cambridge, Hull.

Nurse Mary:
Well?

Blackadder:
You failed to spot that only two of those are great universities!

Nurse Mary:
You swine!

Melchett:
That's right! Oxford's a complete dump!

Blackadder:
[looks startled- this was an improvised joke by Stephen Fry, who went to Cambridge whereas Rowan Atkinson went to Oxford, its rival]... well, quite.
