We don't do any arm waving round here, all we do is to teach you to kill Nazi's

*** Ce commentaire peut contenir des spoilers ***

A classic episode of Dads Army, one of the best.

Mainwaring and his men are on an expedition at some camp. It gets off to a bad start when they can't find where they are going and arrive 4 minutes late, so they miss there evening meal. When they meet the gruff Captain Rodriguez, the men present arms for him, Rodriguez says "We don't do any of that arm waving round here, all we do is to teach you to kill Nazi's, that is all i'm interested in killing". Then Rodriguez tells them about a scheme. The men may attempt to break into his headquarters. So far no platoon has managed it. To get in it though, they have to get past lots of barbed wire and big dogs. They oversleep the next morning, so they miss breakfast, the platoon are getting fed up. Walker goes out to a local farm to steal some food. Back at the camp, the men are fed up and Mainwaring's been missing for a few hours. He's been finding a way to break into Rodriguez's headquarters, the men then become the first platoon to do so.

There was a cock up in this episode. When Walker is out trying to get food, you see him in the farm, then on the next scene, when the men are doing the expedition, Walker is there, then they go back to the farm and he is there. He's in two places at once.

Best Bit: Walker trying to steal food on the farm.
