What was the name of this short item that used blackadder footage as an example?
Looking for the name of this item, can anyone help?
Unless someone's pulling my leg, this is the story (from another forum):

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I hope the out-takes from Blackadder II where Rik is throwing Percy through the doors get a repeat screening. They cropped up on a school's media studies programme a while back and were bloody funny.
Channel 4, daytime, about 6 years ago. It was an 8 minute programme about various aspects of television production. This particularly one was on multiple takes. How many takes is television achieved in and why are retakes necessary.
Mandie Fletcher was explaining that the set was moving too much each time. But as she told Rik to ease up on the headbut he just kept getting worse corpsing McInnerny (sp?) and eventually the others. Fletcher then loses her rag and explains they've only got limited time. They all have to get it together and go for it but the take still isn't suitable and she says they'll try to fix it in the edit.
I only saw it once so this is all from memory but I do remember that Rik was bloody hilarious. Floor manager was relaying what Fletcher was saying and he kept winking at the camera saying - "No problem, toots" in full Flash mode.
