Baldrick is the servant and sidekick of Edmund Blackadder in the BBC historic comedy television series Blackadder. He is famous for his ability to come up with a cunning plan at times of crisis.

Private Baldrick: I have a plan, sir.
Captain Blackadder: Really, Baldrick? A cunning and subtle one?
Private Baldrick: Yes, sir.
Captain Blackadder: As cunning as a fox who’s just been appointed Professor of Cunning at Oxford University?
Private Baldrick: Yes, sir.
Captain Blackadder: Well, I’m afraid it’ll have to wait. Whatever it was, I’m sure it was better than my plan to get out of this by pretending to be mad. I mean, who would have noticed another madman round here?
Captain Blackadder: [whistle blows] Good luck, everyone.
(Blackadder Goes Forth, 1989)

We all need a cunning plan from time to time.
