Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe entire episode was shot on location in Brighton, owing to a technicians' strike which prevented any studio work.
- GoofsCaptain Ramsey, when he assigns the platoon the task of getting over the "electrified" fence is asked by Jones if there is really any electricity in it. Ramsay replies that there is just enough to remind them that its there. However, when the platoon tries to surmount it, it sets fire to their ladder, and several other items. These items would be non-conductive in most cases, so there must be several thousand volts actually coursing through the fence.
- Quotes
Capt. George Mainwaring: [when Jones volunteered to be thrown over the fence] That's the spirit! I like to see some guts!
Sgt. Arthur Wilson: And you probably will...
Featured review
Such a funny episode.
Captain Ramsey has set some tough challenges for The Platoon, all the while Mr Hodges is desperate to receive a delivery of onions from Walker.
I absolutely love this episode, it is hilarious. If there is someone that you could have picked to be an Officer, someone that had all of the right elements, it was Fulton McKay, and he is terrific throughout this, that voice is perfect.
Lots of jokes throughout, I love the double of Hodges and The Verger, so funny, but what had happened to The Vicar, he seems to be in fewer episodes.
Classic scene where the tea lady enters the training room.
Classic, 9/10.
