A one hour train journey stretches out to a couple of hours. Godfrey's bladder is also stretched to the limit.
The Platoon are on a weekend training mission. Captain Rodrigues, a veteran of the Spanish civil war are going to teach them guerilla fighting techniques. The Platoon also needs to capture the officers headquarters.
However things don't go well for the Platoon. Captain Mainwaring gets them lost and they are frequently late for breakfast or dinner. They are not missing much as it is just slop.
Private Walker plans to get the platoon some decent food from the local farm but the farmer catches him at it.
Fraser loses faith in Mainwaring as the training is not going well but Captain Mainwaring has a trick up his sleeve.
The move from black and white to colour does show up the clumsiness in the blue screen work. It is nice to see the outdoor filming and the mess Mainwaring got himself into such as stepping into the river.
