In the penultimate episode on Monday, Captain Mainwaring instigates a competition between Frazer and Jones to see who deserves a promotion after being told he can make a member of the platoon a Corporal. Both candidates do their best to impress him, particularly during a demonstration on how to face down a Nazi stormtrooper, but things go awry when a power-crazed Frazer charges the other men with court martial offences.
And in Tuesday's final episode, tipped off by Frazer and Godfrey, Captain Mainwaring and Sergeant Wilson investigate a house from where they believe someone may have been signalling to enemy aircraft. They take the suspect back to the church hall, but chaos ensues when an incendiary bomb comes through the roof and the platoon desperately battles the blaze.
