Trivia

Arthur Lowe had a clause written into his contract which stated that he would never appear without his trousers on. This is why Sgt. Wilson is leading the platoon during the platoon's changeover march (when the platoon change from civvies to uniform via their long-johns) instead of Captain Mainwaring. (Incidentally, this is also the reason why Jones gets the grenade down the trousers in the U Boat crew episode - it was originally going to be Captain Mainwaring). See more »

Goofs

Continuity: The steamroller is seen to drive over the same set of tents twice. See more »

Quotes

Maj. Gen. Fullard: [Realises that Mainwaring is in charge of the platoon] Good heavens - it's that damm bank clerk!
