Good Luck Everyone - Blackadder - BBC

3. I Heard Once That This Last Scene Was Done in One Take

The actors were so affected by it that they couldn't bear to do it again.

Blackadder was a comedy, for the most part, but this was an excellent way to end the series. It seems counter intuitive, but comedians seem to make the best dramatic actors (Steve Martin in Grand Canyon, Robin Williams in Fisher King, Jim Carrey in The Truman Show, for a few examples).

Thanks for posting that.
