What's another British way of saying "capital idea"?

[Rabrrrrrr]

I have it on the tip of my tongue, the phrase I'm looking for, but it won't come to me.

Seems like it might be a person's name.

But I'm tired, and the mind is foggy.

1. Groovy, Baybee!

[Rabrrrrrr]

2. No, not that one

I'm thinking more stuffy old-style british.

3. Oh, then you mean "Cunning Plan"!

Blackadder: Baldrick, what are you doing out there?

Baldrick: I'm carving something on this bullet sir.

Blackadder: What are you carving?

Baldrick: I'm carving "Baldrick", sir.

Blackadder: Why?

Baldrick: It's a cunning plan actually.

Blackadder: Of course it is.

Baldrick: You see, you know they say that somewhere there's a bullet
with your name on it?

Blackadder: Yes?

Baldrick: Well, I thought if I owned the bullet with my name on it,
I'd never get hit by it, 'cos I won't ever shoot myself.

Blackadder: Oh, shame.

Baldrick: And, the chances of there being two bullets with my name
on them are very small indeed.

Blackadder: That's not the only thing around here that's "very small
indeed". Your brain for example, is so minute, Baldrick,
that if a hungry cannibal cracked your head open there
wouldn't be enough inside to cover a small water-biscuit.
