Bugger, it's 04-38 and I'm binge watching these.

😝 that 1938 or 2038?

That's mad so am i

Same thing here. Remember it from years ago. Typical I. T. V. Comedy. That said, I'm still going ahead with the full set.

@@glyngriffin8260 what's I.T.V.?

[@glyngriffin8260]

@@roringusanda2837 I. T. V. Independent Television. The commercial stations as opposed to the B. B. C. which is paid for via the license fee.

I never saw this when it was originally aired, but I sure am enjoying it now. Thanks for posting.

[@russelljones8108]

Absolutely hilarious you got to love Marsh

[@MrJohnnyGunner]

love this ! remember this when i was kid! lol

[@billgiles3261]

It all seems eerily familiar. I joined the RAF in 1960 as an apprentice and our drill corporals, like Marsh, were national service. It cannot have been all bad as I joined at age 15 and left at 55, although I did get promoted several times along the way.

[@gazof-the-north1980]

They dont make TV shows like this anymore. Superb classic comedy! 👍

My father was in the R A F regiment during his national service he said this show was so real it was his favorite show in the 70s He always said its a pigs life in the r a f regiment and the corporal Jumbo Jenkins they called him that because of his big ears was a real bastard

[@harrygardner1525]

My father in law did his national service but within a few months he signed on as a regular because he got more pay as a regular, in the end he did 18 years & ended up as a WO1. He loved this show, & only passed away 5 years ago. During my father in law's basic training etc he had a corporal who was a bit like Marsh who used to say things like.. 'A word of warning lads.... there are several nasty bastards on this base... & I'M ALL OF EM'.. One young trainee/airman/national serviceman kept getting his bedmaking wrong & apparently he said to the corporal .. 'But my mum let's me make it that way corporal'. The corporal replied to him..... 'I'm your mummy now son... & these f'ing stripes confirm it!!'.

[@ctmcollins4160]

thanks for posting.......totally forgot about this Series!.......before the American Marine Corps stuff of nowadays..he reminds me of Alf Garnett.......best era of British comedy....but I am biased...I grew up with this stuff!....Dad's Army........etc.........and yes I was in the ATC....in Scotland..................couldn't stand corporals.....But I never did national service.......too young!..........now I am too old!.. and don't forget Private Schultz!....another lost treasure as Arthur says in the comments.

gads, seeing those blankets and sheets in that box on the bed..that takes me back..trying to make it perfectly square on those corners..sheets and blankets completely vertical, none forward of the others..no sloping..completely flat on top..

[@kronsteen9093]

Only Lilley comes out with any integrity in this episode - with all the others especially 3F Smiff trying to talk poor Leckie into killing himself.

[@n.ayisha]

i love the scenes in these old shows where someone is smoking a cigarette where they shouldn't be, and they shove it into some handy vessel when anyone walks in the door. meanwhile, you can detect the lingering smell of smoke from a cigarette someone lit hours before.

[@jamiemctainsh3267]

2:17 into a medical instrument steriliser.

[@bugler75]

Everywhere smelt permanently of cigarette smoke on all Camps in those days!

[@badmattam]

Superb. Thanks for sharing.

[@tomhaskett5161]

Quite a dark episode! Marsh bullying the team to try to cover up was sinister

[@howardchambers9679]

My dad loved this. I get the feeling it was the same for the army in 1939. Corporals the same the world over

Tony Selby, of course, was Sabalom Glitz in Doctor Who during the 80s

[@MarcZERO1980]

3:16 The Doctor asks Marsh "any potential backsliders or ticket workers?" . Could somebody tell me what this means?

[@ToonandBBfan]

+Marc Zero Here in North East England, a "Worky Ticket" (Ticket worker) is someone who causes trouble

[@thomaswilkinson3241]

"Backsliders" is maybe a term for male homosexuality. Don't know for sure.

[@prestonpans6812]

Blacksliding just means skiving and not doing the work you were supposed to do. Working your ticket was improperly doing something to obtain a discharge from the forces e.g. feigning a medical condition.

[@laguna3fase4]

In the forces you don't have the ability to just phone in sick., you have to see the doctor for anything going to prevent you working. Sometimes people would make up ailments to get out of work.

[@michaelwisdom1867]

Why not bring back national service to benefit the young unemployed put some self respect in there life

[@npc3po301]

Because at the bottom of it there has to be a firm sense of belonging, that England was ours to protect, when national service was abolished in the early 60s it coincided with a wider coordinated drive to bring down that sense of belonging, TV, media was hellbent on dividing the family and ridding national cohesion which down the generations has us where we are now where so many no longer have that romantic tie to/even resent their homeland, it isn't ours to defend any more it's just a soup of anyones from anywhere, there's no collective purpose to joining up any more

[@1tonyboat]

My thoughts , i did 5 years in the RAF in the early 70`s and that set me up for a good life ....This series brings back so many happy memories .....

[@SpeccyMan]

They could start with you. They could begin by teaching you the difference between their (the one you should've used) and there (the incorrect one you actually misused.)

@@SpeccyMan Look no one here has got the braincells to be a Rupert but its the sentiment that counts.
