 The closing titles use a different arrangement of the theme , sung by countertenor Jeremy Jackman , with lyrics ( usually insulting Blackadder ) that reflect the events of the preceding episode . The song is played over a shot of Blackadder strolling through a formal garden and being annoyed by the lute @-@ wielding minstrel ( Tony Aitken ) . This sequence was incorporated as a separate subplot , with Blackadder constantly attempting to apprehend the musician each time with limited success . At the end of the final episode , Blackadder catches the minstrel and repeatedly dunks him in a fountain .
