"Witchsmeller Pursuivant" keeps the high quality with another funny episode, an episode that plays to humanity's unfounded beliefs of magic and gods, and how easy it is to control the gullible masses.
In a very silly way.
The plague is ravishing around England, and Edmund gets picked up as a witch. A WITCH!, that talks to his horse, gives bloody milk to his cat and well, you know, all things witches do. Edmund (and Percy and Baldrick) will try to keep alive in any way possible. As always.
The dialogue flies and the banter is as good as in all the other episodes of the first season, but there are not so many jokes and sometimes is almost impossible to hear what the Witchhunter... smeller says. It is a little repetitive in the 'Edmund is a witch', which makes the episode's rhythm falter a little bit, but it shows in a hilarious way how people can be easily controlled (when they want to be).
