General Von Klinkerhoffen orders that René is to be shot if the Enigma machine isn't found. Because he thinks he might warn René, colonel Von Strohm orders Gruber to take of his uniform so he won't leave Von Strohm's office. Nevertheless, Gruber takes Helga's uniform and goes to René. Meanwhile, British Intelligence and the Resistance have thought up a plan to get two experts to Nouvion to look at the Enigma machine. They will be disguised as policemen.

General Von Klinkerhoffen orders that René be taken out into the Street and shot, if the enigma machine is not handed over to him.
The final episode of this very long fifth series is a very funny affair. The title sums it up perfectly, the cast are all dressed up in terrible disguises, playing put wonderful slapstick comedy, surrounding themes of espionage and hidden codes. It's all beautifully funny, it has an end of series feel, the cast are all clearly having a riot.
Favourite scenes, Mimi's post cup of tea effects, and a disguised Gruber getting the attentions of The General. It really is a very funny episode.
Notable for being the final episode for the wonderful Jack Haig, who sadly passed away in 1989, there from the start, he was always a favourite, the show was definitely missing something from here on in.
