Radio Times review

This untypical episode about guarding prisoners of war suffers from limp gags and too much stereotyping. A little urgency is instilled with the suggestion that Walker may be a fifth columnist, and it does feature Mainwaring stuck down a hole "like Winnie the Pooh".

Listen out for Godfrey delivering the unimaginable line "Your tiny hand is frozen" to an Italian soldier, and some epic sentence-mangling from Jones, who puts his bayonet to good use for a change. John Ringham (who became familiar as Penny's dad in Just Good Friends) returns for the last time as Captain Bailey.
