Customary for sitcoms to have a 'scary' themed episode, Things that go bump in the Night being the Dad's Army entry. It features some hilarious sequences, Pike's costume, Pike's attempts to visit the bathroom, and of course the hilarious meeting in the corridor. Whilst I watched the sequences with the dogs and shed I was struck by how much that humour reminded me of what was to follow in Allo Allo, sketches that could have easily fitted in there. Very funny.
The late Jonathan Cecil was amusing as foppish Captain Cadbury.
I mentioned that it's sad, very much so, as it's the last episode to feature the wonderful James Beck as Walker, who tragically died during the making of this episode. Beck left a huge hole that somehow was never quite filled. This must have been tough for the cast to make, but nonetheless they did him proud, it's a hilarious episode.
Glorious, 9/10
