Mainwaring: It's quite simple really. You'll be able to tell that it's a German if he goes around giving you stupid orders.
Frazer: Then how are we supposed to tell the difference.
Featured review
This fine first series continues, excellent.
£10 for every Nazi pilot captured in good health, that's the offer made by Captain Winogrodzki, things get off to a bad start when Mainwaring mistakes the Polish officer for a Nazi.
It's a very well made episode, it looks great, and it's really very funny, it's so hard to believe this dates back to 1968, the humour is fresh, the performances excellent.
The scene with the swan is funny. The Germans have some very funny lines, typical British inefficiency, very funny.
Classic 8/10
