Captain Mainwaring is transferring money from his bank to another branch after it has been bombed. He has the money in a basket and is transporting it on a horse and cart when some of the money starts blowing out of the basket. Pike, Wilson, Walker, and Jones are riding bicycles behind him. They stop to pick up the money and just before Jones tells Pike to ride after Mainwaring to tell him about the money, you can see a silver car parked on the left hand grass verge in the direction Mainwaring is heading. This car was obviously made long after World War Two finished. See more...

Clive Dunn was a prisoner of war during World War 2.
The only member of the cast to have actually served in the Home Guard was John Laurie. Arthur Lowe, John Le Mesurier, Clive Dunn and Arnold Ridley were in the regular army.
Godfrey's middle initial is 'P'. This is probably a reference to his character's trait of constantly getting 'caught short' (needing to go to the bathroom).
Never To Old (series 10)
The program's writers wanted to end the series with the platoon being disbanded. But the BBC wouldn't let them as they hoped they'd change their minds and make more.
