I find it nice that we still get people coming and watching this. It’s a lovely show that sadly not many (except people outside my agegroup) actually know about.
I remember the 'golliwog marmalade'... Robinson's marmalade, whose mascot was a golliwog until they made them illegal. Jars usually came with a paper golliwog under the label that you could collect and send away for small prizes. They didn't just make marmalade, but several other varieties of jams and preserves.
You could send off for a enamel badge! A local museum was selling actual golliwogs in the shop. There was a fuss raised by the usual idiots, but she told them to go piss up a rope.
Golly Wog Marmalade lol, geez, how times have changed, I remember the little chap on all the jams and marmalades when i was a kid. Pathetic how we have had to change our entire culture to appease the left wing muppets.
I remember this series from the first time round, only had a vague memory of it tho being only 5ish, all I could remember was 'the horrible man' had a bed in the middle of the room with a curtain round it, when I first found this on youtube and started watching it I thought (as they were all in a barrack room) that I must've gotten it mixed up with something else, but here we are at my vague memory
A little fun story for everyone: I have actually met a Corporal like Marsh and he was an absolute prat. He crawled to every Officer and lorded it over every Lower Rank. Eventually, he got so unbearable, a Squadron Leader actually stormed right up to him, gave him a rollocking and then socked him right on the nose. I still hear those infamous words "On behalf of all the Officers and Lower Ranks of your Squadron, Corporal, I present you with this" It was at that point he punched the Corporal on the nose and we all cheered!
flashstudiosguy - Marsh is the epitome of a Corporal. You just don`t get it do you? I`m, ex-army and this is a great comic take-off of a Corporal. Lance Jacks are worse.
I get what you're saying, I'm just telling folk there are still generally people like this in the Services. No need to get all snotty with me by writing things like "You just don`t get it do you?", is there? Also,thanks for your Service. Drop by the RAF Association Clubhouse some time and I'll buy you a pint, just don't bite my hand off when you take it off me, ok?@@biggstavros5876

I know about it..
I watched this when it originally came out. And now watching again better than some of today's tv,
I'm hooked. I must keep watching now. It's great!
Loved watching this series ❤️ 👍 👍

@@flashstudiosguy Sorry, didn`t mean to bite your hand off (ex-sergeant). Which club are you a member at?
As I said, the Royal Air Force Association. I'm a regular donator to them and know them through my work in the Air Cadets.@@biggstavros5876

This was on when I was an air cadet. It put me off joining the RAF
I have a mug with the Golly on it - Antiques Road Show in about 50 years!
Brilliant scriptwriting in this episode.
Marsh doesn't need to open a door to enter a room, he could just ooze right under it.
Owen Fitzgerald
No. He’d use his stripes somehow.
They even painted his name on the camp barbers hut!
This was before my time but this show was comedy gold much better then todays guff
It’s a shame they didn’t end it with them leaving the RAF
