Featured review
This glorious sixth series continues with another classic.
The Home Guard are given a secret mission, to salute King George as he passes through Walmington on Sea, naturally events don't quite go to plan.
This one always has me in stitches, the mix ups with the sleeping tablets, and the desperation to get to the front to see The King, the train chase is terrific.
Is the train camouflaged or the King? Wilson definitely had the best line here, glorious sarcasm. Pike's insubordination is funny.
This sixth series continues in the same brilliant form it started, it only makes me so sad that this would be Walker's final series.
A favourite. 9/10
