Another Jones focused episode, When Did You Last See Your Money? Is a terrific instalment that follows the platoon's efforts to help Jones find £500 he mislaid after disguising it as half a pound of sausages. It's great to see everyone pulling together to aid one of their number in distress, with Wilson telling Jones "Your problem is our problem." There's a lot of clever comedy business in this episode, starring with a scene in Mainwaring's bombed out office in the bank which begins with him insisting people still use the still-standing doorframe next to a gaping hole in the wall and ends with him trying to do his work under a large umbrella. It shows how ingenious Croft and Perry could be with a silly premise and that skill characterises the whole episode, from a sinister hypnotism by Fraser to a fantastic scene in which the platoon wake up Mr. Bluett at 2am in order to inspect his stuffed chicken. A delight.
