minister.  His lines contain many references to Atkinsons series  _"Blackadder the Third" (1987)_ (qv). For example,  Vincent Hanna (qv) appears reading off the votes, like he did on  the first episode of Blackadder III. Like in that episode, all the  parties listed off "no votes" until Atkinsons, who received all the  votes (so Bean gets elected in the song). Also, Beans speech starts  off "Unacustomed as I am to public speaking..." like Prince Georges  did in the episode "Sense and Senility".
