One of the very few sitcoms that was a hit on the big screen, they didn't get away from the tv version very much that's why i think it worked, a classic of it's day.
The section from 5:58 to 7:04 is brilliant, I have no doubt that in reality the Home Guard would've taken on the Panzer Regiments & SS units if given the chance.
James beck and john le mesurier were goodlooking men. Sad to think that all the main cast are no longer with us except for lan lavender and frank williams who played the vicar
Is it just me that thinks that Pike's mother in the film looks about as old as he does? I don't know why they couldn't of stuck with the female who played her in the series, she did a much better job of it.
if im right... wasnt it the battle of britain that saved us from german invasion? lets be honest, id find it doubful we'd have survived a german invasion!
The invasion was never going to work. The RN was too powerful, it was a really last resort plan. Once Hitler turned to Russia, starving Britain to submission with submarines seemed more viable

And we still won!
Sadly, only a small part of the movie can be found here: parts 3, 5, & 6. But, a fun movie once you’ve watched the tv series.
I love the look that Fraser gives Wilson at 4.58.
A change of roles Pvt Godfrey had the gun
I'd love to know what became of General Wilkinson? Did he wake up and find out what happened to the Platoon?
Sadly he disappears from the film after this, as I remember. So they did "get rid of him" 😂

We've sadly lost Frank too now, Denise. He passed away in June 2022.

Why have the Germans got a map of Canvey Island on their screen?
no its not actually
Why were the men not in uniform?
Everything was in short supply. The first bit received was arm bands.
@DavidZebra1 seriously... i mean seriously, thats like BASIC WW2 knowledge... jesus christ
At 6:35 you can hear the cameraman tapping on the camera

Germany might have had a superior army but they never had a superior air force or navy.
@4:35 Wilson beaks the fourth wall.
