Page "The Prince and the Pauper" Paragraph 26

It is mentioned in the BBC TV Comedy Series Blackadder the Third in the episode where the Prince Regent believes that the Duke of Wellington is after him.

The Prince Regent swaps clothes with Blackadder ( who is his butler ) and says " This reminds of that story-The Prince and the Porpoise ".

Blackadder corrects him and says " Pauper.

The Prince and the Pauper ".

As Blackadder the Third is set during the early 1800s, and the book was first published in 1881, this is an obvious historical anachronism.

An episode of Phineas and Ferb, " Make Play " follows the same story line, with Candace switching place for Princess Baldegunde of Duselstein, with later Candace found that the royal life was boring.
