Oh yes Wednesday night bbc2 9pm. I had to be ready for bed and it was bed straight after but as a child I was allowed to watch this and I still love it. Strange thing was I was allowed to watch this but was not allowed to watch Top of the Pops or Grange Hill. Strange ideas our parents had.
One of those shows that wobbled the line between comedy & drama, even having a laugh track on some episodes.
Often said to be an analogue for the Vietnam War, which was still taking place when it started, & managed to last almost 4 times longer than the actual Korean War!
