Mainwaring gives the men a lecture, about German uniforms, naturally he's irritated by the attitudes of the men.
Sheer class, it's a very funny episode, the lecture is so funny, and the subsequent fallout is even funnier, I love the way Mainwaring focuses on the appearances of the soldiers,
John Laurie is at his best, when you see interviews with him, you get the impression that he loved this role, but perhaps felt he was worthy of a bigger role, and a greater rank, and he is brilliant here, what a commanding actor.
Best of all, the irritations Mainwaring feels towards Wilson, the way he looks at him when he puts on his monocle, it just further shows the chasm between the two when it came to societal standing.
Brilliant, 9/10.
