A gentle, warm-hearted comedy or the start of a legend? To be honest, Sergeant works whichever way you approach it. William Hartnell and Bill Owen give strong and assured performances. Terence Longdon plays the first Jack the Lad with charisma and flair. Shirley Eaton doesn't need to do anything but smile. Bob Monkhouse is excellent, throwing in some great little touches here and there. Eric Barker is as wonderful as always, a brilliant actor. In fact, Sergeant is a real ensemble piece, there isn't a poor performance anywhere. The final scene - Barker and the boys saying goodbye to Hartnell - is one of the most touching in the entire series.
