Is that who the song "Wonderful, wonderful Copenhagen" is about?

Anyway, seeing as it was Blackadder that gave me the answer, what is anachronistic about the first Black Adder (Prince Edmund) having the title of Duke of Edinburgh?

Is it that Edinburgh wasn't founded at the time (is it 12th Century the first Blackadder was set in).

Harry has it more-or-less - the series is set in the 15th century (the first episode is 1485, the Battle of Bosworth). At that time Scotland was still a seperate monarchy.

Over to you!

Which TV series had the tagline " Stand By For Action - Anything Can Happen In The Next Half Hour" ?

No idea, but it sounds like a Gerry Anderson show, so I'm going to guess..

Stingray...

This often occurs in quizzes. Will let others answer as too smug to reply.
