Dunny-on-the-Wold is a constituency that figures prominently in Dish and Dishonesty, the first episode of Blackadder the Third. Described as a half-acre in the Suffolk fens, Dunny-on-the-Wold is a rotten borrough with more animals than voters. In fact, it has only one active voter (who is apparently capable of casting over 16,000 votes). It was originally represented by Sir Talbot Buxomly, the MP with the worst attendance record in Parliament. Following Sir Talbot's death, S. Baldrick was elected MP. Despite the constituency's seeming unimportance, four different political parties vied for the seat.
