Featured review
The Armoured Might of Lance Corporal Jones
There is a lot of slapstick and visual humour in this episode.
Hodges has become the chief warden and throws his weight about. He wants the church hall every wednesday evening.
Walker reckons if Jones allows the platoon the use of his van, they could get free petrol coupons.
However Captain Mainwaring requests that the van is converted to run on gas which causes chaos as Jones keeps his rifle and bayonet by the driver's seat.
It is interesting to see Jones coping with his customers with their ration books as they all demands various extra bits of meat.
There was a good use of quick cuts as both Walker and Jones turn to icicles as they talk in the freezer room. Jones's ends of his moustache snaps off.
Legendary civil servant and Oscar nominee Sir Nigel Hawthorne made an television appearance as an angry man who had his bicycle stolen.
