Why was Baldrick mentioned at PMQs?

The Blackadder character Baldrick, played by Labour-supporting actor Tony Robinson, is name-checked and debated by Jeremy Corbyn and Theresa May at PMQs.

The Labour leader went to on to ask the prime minister when she would "abandon this shambolic Tory Brexit and develop a plan that delivers for the whole country". Mrs May responded that she would "deliver on the vote of the British people" with an end to free movement.

The exchanges were interrupted by the Speaker warning Conservative MP James Cleverly about fears for his health.
