Anyone watch this new episode on BBC2 last night? What did you think?
Gordon Kaye seemed to spend most of the show reading his lines from his war memoirs, although given his accident I can forgive him for that, and while Vicki Michelle (Yvette) and Kirsten Cooke (Michelle of the Resistance) have aged well, what on earth happened to Sue Hodge as Mimi ? I almost didn't recognise her.
I know a number of the cast have died as well, but they seemed to be glossed over almost completely in the surrounding documentary - they could at least have done a better tribute to those in the cast that are no longer with us - Richard Marner (von Strome), Carmen Silvera (Edith), etc., and just where was Private Helga (Kim Hartman)?
It wasn't a bad attempt at a reunion for the show. It could have been worse. Anyone else see it? Used to be one of my favourite comedies in the 1980s.
