Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDue to budget cuts at the BBC, it was shot in just two weeks.
- GoofsWhen Perry and Croft have to change the opening titles, the familiar map and arrows are shown where the German troop movements form a capital H. However, this is just a black & white version of the title sequence used in the later colour episodes of series 3 onwards. The original animation used in series 1 and 2 had the arrows forming a different shape.
- Quotes
Jimmy Perry: You're not going to cast me.
David Croft: I'm sorry.
Jimmy Perry: [in tears] I wrote the bloody thing to be in it!
- Crazy creditsOpening titles, with wording contained in broad arrows, in the style of the title sequence for Dad's Army (1968): "Some scenes in this film are imagined. BUT DON'T PANIC! Most of this really happened."

Featured review
This was what the film should have been
I could even bare Keith can't act Allen...
John Sessions was brilliant, even Shane Ritchie was good but it's the heart felt portrail and excellence from the writers to recreate a special series
