Crafty old Mainwearing always adds “it reflects badly on the bank” when he wants to enforce something on Pike !! He has to do this because he doesn’t have the know how to deal with anything - all he does really is to show his ignorance. That’s why he won’t give a good recommendation about Wilson to have his own branch. Brilliant characterisation 😮

I have come to the conclusion after listening to these episodes many many times that Pt Godfrey though the oldest member of the platoon is the most vain member !!!🤫🤫

Cpt M is such a coward !! he puts poor old Wilson on the spot and he backs out too Jones who I always think is the perfect idiot comes in as the bravest of the lot wth Fraser coming in Number 1. just level with him !,

Jones IS a woolly minded old ditherer - sorry Cp Jones but you are !!! As for promoting Pike , well he’s too young and immature - a bit of a twit!! (Mrs Pike is to blame)* Makes for a very good story that can run and run - I love it.

Classic. Very funny and sometimes more than close to real life .

Why does Corp Jones keep chanting “left right left right” every time he moves about - none of the others do ? 😊

hardly a contemporary of Holmes , Raffles and Drummond ! this is set in the 1960s, decades later than the trio mentioned who were all late Victorian / Edwardian.

Jones is at it again !! They should have given one of the others a chance - not Godfrey as he secretly wants to be a woman !!! I am convinced this is so.

They are so petty - the verger and Cp Jones - and Jones shouldn’t be dealing with the slides as he’s always doing it wrong - he’s too old !!! but then it wouldn’t be funny if he did everything properly would it ? Most of the comedy is turned on because actually they are all too old pompous or ignorant and full of what Fraser calls “blather” and desperate for recognition. They are puffed up with their own importance but they are loved by all their listeners 😂 23:15 23:17 23:45

All I can say is why are these men so thick !!!! A woman would have managed it so much more efficiently !! But of course it wouldn’t have been so funny - Godfrey and Jones are both too old ad I fear have dementia and As for being in control of a fire arm the mind boggles !!!😮

The older they are the more petty they are - men are like that I have noticed -why Cpt M allows Jones to ‘do’ things as he always makes a mess of things - for the comedy it creates of course but it does irritate 😮

Frank P is so immature it makes me smile - his mother has a lot to answer for - the army or one of the other services would be so good for him !!! We’re all teens so wet and dependent on mummy !! 😊

Oh, yes- the music cue used at 0:37 was previously used as the closing theme for "THE NEW ADVENTURES OF NERO WOLFE" during the 1950-'51 season.
