Ramsay replies that there is just enough to remind them that its there. However, when the platoon tries to surmount it, it sets fire to their ladder, and several other items.

Sgt. Arthur Wilson: And you probably will...
Featured review
Fresh and Original
This episode takes place at a special training camp for the platoon and therefore introduces to some new characters as well.
The episode is wonderfully structured, with great twists and a lovely overall tone, the performance of Fulton McKay as Captain Ramsey is the highlight of the programme.
