As many people commented, this episode sadly marks the end of the line for James Beck and his character "Walker". Beck passed away not much later after the episode was filmed, if memory serves, and the note was a way to explain his absence to the audience and his departure from the series. It could just be me, but if you look at the faces of the men, Pike in particular, they seem to have a certain sadness to them, presumably because they knew Beck's passing was imminent.

Thank you for this, good to see again after so many years. A story for you. When my Father first heard of this programme he was very offended. Ridiculing the British Army, who do they think they are? He served 7 years during hostilities rising from Private to brevet Major, twice mentioned in dispatches, unarmed combat instructor, explosives and weapons expert, 21 Army Group and so on. Seeing one broadcast he was immediately converted to a fan!
