It Ain't Half Hot Mum - up the jungle

[@CHEEKYMONKEY1618]

Only Windsor Davis could have played that role so well, those deep Welsh tones I still remeber from my childhood. Thank you Windsor for all the memories, may you rest in peace and forever be in our hearts. R.I.P Windsor Davies The greatest shouted ever !!!🤘💖

Well done Windsor, you got posted to the great jungle in the sky. Whispering Grass, Don’t tell the blabbering trees, and how many of us did in our lifetimes, to our cost. Rest In Peace Sgt Major.

[@spacial2]

This came from early in the series. The presence of Michael Bates and George Layton. Needless to say, The Sgt Maj's attempts to have the part posted, came to nothing. A classic comedy series with a lot of really good humour in addition to the situation gags. One of Croft and Perry's better efforts.

I hate it when internet divs start spacking off about how these wonderful comedies succumbed to "political correctness" That's absolute bollocks and does the shows a complete disservice.

[@davidlawson9276]

[@AsDeadAsDillinger]

I think you're a bit confused about what they are saying, mate. (Or you're attacking a 'straw man' on purpose.) Nobody is claiming that the series did not end naturally and nobody is claiming that 'political correctness' played any part in the natural ending of the series' story arc. The writers had gone about as far as they could with the characters and they were obviously out of ideas. Their ACTUAL issue that people seem to have is that the reasons given by the BBC as to *why it would not be running any repeats of the series on BBC TV* (as they had done with every other popular BBC show) *was entirely due to BBC's stated concerns of 'cultural insensitivity', 'racism' and 'homophobia' etc.* So it's undeniably and unavoidably factual for someone to state that the series was not repeated by the BBC due to concerns over 'political correctness'.

[@Bromley68]

I haven't watched an episode of this since childhood in the 1980's. My memories of the show are not detailed or vivid. They wrote to type and the actors played to type. I have no memory of the show's chronology, but the Sergeant Major's inner monologue suggests it was a later episode. Why? Because laying pipe as part of an inner voice is clumsy and really lazy. There's no way a decent writer would use a hackneyed conceit in the first couple of series.
