It amazes me that such a long running comedy show managed to stay so fresh, even in its later years. By now the show had become a little more slapstick, and as I watched this one I truly got the Allo Allo vibe, funny costumes, funny voices, not the humour that came from the early episodes, but this is still a very very funny episode. Poor Captain Mainwarring still the butt of the joke, Lowe was genuinely funny, with great timing, and cutting remarks. I wonder how many new fans have watched this, and googled what a fifth columnist is, I had to.
It's not as slick as episodes from the early years, but it's still funnier then any sitcom made today. 7/10
