Blackadder's Christmas Carol1988

Baldrick:
I've been helping out with the workhouse Nativity play.

Lord Edmund Blackadder:
Oh, of course. How did it go?

Baldrick:
Well, not very well. At the last moment, the baby playing Jesus died!

Lord Edmund Blackadder:
Oh, dear! This high infant mortality rate's a real devil when it comes to staging quality children's theatre. What did you do?

Baldrick:
Got another Jesus.

Lord Edmund Blackadder:
Oh, thank goodness. And his name?

Baldrick:
"Spot." There weren't any more children so we had to settle for a dog instead.

Lord Edmund Blackadder:
Oh, dear. I'm not convinced that Christianity would have established its firm grip over the hearts and minds of mankind, if all Jesus had ever said was "woof!"
