Line 138:
** The pilot featured Mainwaring and Wilson. Arthur Lowe died soon afterwards hence Mainwarring being replaced with Hodges. Then, when John Le Mesurier passed away after recording one series, it was decided to just put it to rest (as a direct ''[[Dad's Army|Dads Army]]'' [[Spin-Off]], at least).
* [[Squirrels in My Pants]]: In "Room at the Bottom", Corporal Jones gets ants in his pants and, while trying to remove them, accidentally signals the platoon to advance into an ambush.
* [[Suddenly Always Knew That]]: Played for laughs in the series 5 episode "If the cap fits...". A superior officer confuses Manwaring with Fraser, which leads to Manwaring being asked to play the bagpipes (an [[Informed Ability]] of Fraser's) at an event. Fraser offers to take his place, but Manwaring turns him down, explaining that he learned to play on his honeymoon - and proceeds to play perfectly.
* [[Surrounded by Idiots]]
{{quote|"You know, Wilson, over the years that I've come to know the members of the platoon, I've become quite fond of them. But I can't help feeling sometimes, that I'm in charge of a bunch of idiots."}}
