Loved this episode. Thank you.

Finding out that Godfrey had quite such a war record was eye opening. What a life.

It’s on the DVD box set that I’ve got, but as this indicates it’s very rarely broadcast as I think it somewhat goes against the beloved reputation of the series. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absent_...

Thanks for this post. Right up my street. Looking forward to listening.

Can you also discuss why Private Pike is used as a term of abuse. Thousands of Private Pikes, young lads who were close to their mothers, who did their duty on land, sea and in the air. My dad was one in the navy.

Arthur Lowe came from Hayfield in Derbyshire same as my great great great grandfather Hadfield.

A friend at school was in the choir as a young chorister in one episode. He used to spend his residuals on all sorts of cool stuff each year.

Odd bits pop up, and it's on NOW (Sky for cheapskates like me). My kids not grabbed by it, but we may not have offered it to them at the right age.

I have no idea, sounds plausible but can't find a source (with lazy googling).

I love the X-Files. But I do also wonder about the long term impact of the one biggest shows of the 90s being premised on ‘conspiracy theories are real, the government is in on it and there’s a shadowy cabal directing everything’.
