    edit
    1. The platoon receive their uniforms in this episode.
    2. This episode includes the only occasion Mainwaring says the word "bastard".
    3. Strangely Wilson says "I've never heard you swear before, Sir" after Mainwaring says "Bloody cheek!" during The Lion Has Phones, an episode from Series 3 (1969), despite the fact he clearly hears Mainwaring say "the rotten bastard", initially thinking Mainwaring is directing the insult at him.
    4. This episode was planned for transmission on Wednesday 3 July.
