BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM Baldrick

BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM
Baldrick is the name of several fictional characters featured in the long-running BBC historic comedy television series Blackadder. Each one serves as Edmund Blackadder's servant and sidekick and acts as a foil to the lead character. Each series of Blackadder is set in a different period in British history, and each Baldrick character (as with the character of Edmund) is a descendant of the Baldrick from the preceding series. Just as Blackadder exists in many incarnations throughout the ages, so does Baldrick; whenever there is a Blackadder there is a Baldrick serving him. They are all portrayed by Sir Tony Robinson (although in the unaired pilot episode he was played by Philip Fox).

The relationship between Edmund and Baldrick evolves significantly; in the first series of the show, Baldrick is more intelligent than Blackadder, but this dynamic is reversed in subsequent series, with Baldrick's intelligence decreasing as the show continued. He is the only character other than Edmund Blackadder to appear in every episode of the programme.

Baldrick is also a poet 

This Baldrick is also a poet. His greatest poem is, without a doubt, 'The German Guns'. The words are:

Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom,

Boom, Boom, Boom,

Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom,

Boom, Boom, Boom

Baldrick was particularly surprised when Captain Blackadder guessed the final line.
This may actually be a reference to a genuine wartime song sung by soldiers in the trenches, sung to the tune of Auld Lang Syne;

We're here because, we're here because,

We're here because we're here.

We're here because, we're here because,

We're here because we're here.

During his time in the trenches, Baldrick also wrote a second poem; the words are as follows:

Hear the words I sing,

War's a horrid thing,

So I sing sing sing...

...ding-a-ling-a-ling.

Blackadder commented that "it started badly, it tailed off a little in the middle and the less said about the end the better — but apart from that it was excellent."
