A Soldier's farewell is a classic episode, after seeing a romantic movie, Mainwaring is inspired and behaves chivalrously towards a clippy on the bus home.
I love this episode, it gives us very different side to Mainwaring, hidden passions live underneath his immaculately pressed uniform. It is so funny that Mainwaring is so ruled by order and a sense of structure, when in reality his men were all volunteers, and didn't have the same mindset.
They did some wonderful historical reenactments in the series, and the one here is one of the best, it's a great scene. The funniest scene however is the national anthem on the gramophone, the look on Lowe's face is priceless.
Very funny, 9/10.
