Written by Anthony Couch, a writer with only a handful of previous comedy credits to his name. There's not much in the way of actual jokes in this episode, but lots of scenes of the G.I.s making observations to each other about their perfumed laundry.
This week, the pub is losing American custom to the W.V.S. canteen, where the ladies are laundering the G.I.s' clothes in exchange for nylons, candies, etc. There's a canteen set that I wouldn't have minded seeing more of and a few new characters only seen in this episode. Watching this series - which seems to have one new single-use set and two or three guest performers every episode - reminds me of being a child and buying one new set of Town Lego with my pocket money each weekend, a fireman or policeman, say. You eventually build up a whole town's population week by week. Unlike with the toys, though, you never get to see them all together.
