Eyebrows were raised when in the year of America's Bicentennial celebrations, Granada produced a sitcom with the unfortunate title 'Yanks Go Home!'. It was set in a northern town during World War Two, overrun by G.I.'s who, according to the surly locals, are 'over paid, over sexed, and over here'. With the B.B.C.'s 'Dad's Army' about to end, I.T.V. hoped to pinch some of its audience. They gave the show a big build-up, including a 'T.V. Times' cover, but alas it proved only moderately successful. The main problem was that the subject matter had already been covered by 'Dad's Army' itself, in an episode entitled 'Hi British Buddy!'. Each episode had a different writer, so the characterisations were somewhat inconsistent. The obvious canned laughter didn't help either. Best amongst the cast was Freddie Earlle, whose 'Corporal Pasquale' was straight out of 'Sgt.Bilko'. 'Yanks Go Home' saw the return to television of Stuart Damon, not seen since 'The Champions'. He later wrote one of the episodes.
