Top-hole. Bally Jerry pranged his kite right in the how's-your-father. Hairy blighter dicky-birdied, feathered back on his Sammy, took a waspy, flipped over on his Betty Harper's and caught his can in the Bertie.

| Reviews: |
| In the final series, Python (minus John Cleese) took more chances with using a running theme for episodes. This was usually a bad idea and made for rather dull shows (The Cycling Tour [from Series 3], Michael Ellis, Mr. Neutron). This episode, however, used a WWII theme and was IMO, the best ep. of the final series. Why? There were no main characters to spend time fleshing out and figuring out what to do with. Without this hindrance, they could do what they do best- bounce from sketch to sketch without any foolish plot getting in the way. | Stavro Arrgolus |

| Neil Innes fills a bit of the void left by John Cleese in this episode. He wrote "When Does A Dream Begin", which was used in both the opening and closing of this show and in incidental music throughout. He sings it to Terry Gilliam's future wife in the closing sequence. (Stavro Arrgolus) |
| Douglas Adams made a brief appearance in this show as a doctor. (Stavro Arrgolus) |
