This is the famous episode with Philip Madoc as the captured U Boat captain.
It is the episode with the famous exchange:
'Your Name will also go on the list, what is it?'
'Don't tell him Pike.'
Of course the episode works because Madoc plays it straight and there is so much more to it than his writing list of names for his book. As well as some classic lines it has a good plot.
It starts of with Captain Mainwaring telling his men about counting parachutes to find out if they are Germans. If there are more than six, shoot them. Just check in case they might be nuns.
It kicks off when the captured Germans submarine crew arrive. Mainwaring compares Hitler to Charlie Chaplain. Then Walker taking their fish and chips order with the Captain being fussy. Finally the Captain makes a daring plan to escape by holding Hodges hostage.
Luckily for Captain Mainwaring that Sgt Wilson realised having primed grenades would be dangerous.
