"Lunatics ready for inspection, Sir!"
Yonilikka-2229 March 2017
Warning: Spoilers
The lads are put to work in the Psychiatric Ward. Among the patients is a familiar face - 'Rankin' ( Derek Deadman ) from R.A.F. Skelton ( he appeared in Season 1's 'Medical' ). Rankin is not aggressive; he wants nothing more than to be a bandsman. While driving him to another hospital, Marsh stops off at a transport cafe for a 'quick snack' ( sausages and mash ) and to brag for the umpteenth time about his experience at Labrador. Rankin escapes...

Another script that looks like it was salvaged from the 'Doctor In The House' waste-paper basket. As well as Deadman, a second face familiar to sitcom fans from around this time can be seen - Roger Brierley. He notched up roles in 'Ripping Yarns', 'The Fall And Rise Of Reginald Perrin', and 'Rising Damp' amongst other series.

Funniest moment - the E.E.G. officer ( Brierley ) attempts to monitors Rankin's reactions by discussing sex. Rankin is clearly disinterested in the subject, but the officer becomes wild with excitement.
