- The rivalry between Mainwaring's Home Guard and Hodge's ARP men surfaces again when it comes to who marches at the front of a parade.
- There is to be a parade through Walmington-on-Sea to commemorate Spitfire Week and, after watching a newsreel, the platoon decide it would be a splendid idea to have a mascot. Private Sponge farms sheep and the men try to catch his ram but it eludes them every time. Walker provides a goat but it is a skinny, pitiful creature which eats Mainwaring's five pound note. So there is no mascot for the parade, which turns into a race as the platoon, Hodges and his wardens, the verger and his Sea Scouts and the volunteer nurses all march faster and faster to be at the head of the procession until they all break into a run.—don @ minifie-1
- During an embarrassments-ridden picture screening, Mainwaring gets inspired to adopt a ram as company mascot. One of farmer-soldier Sponge's must be caught urgently, in time for the Spitfire Week parade. It proves a dangerous chase, which brings them only mud and bruises. The order of parade participants is disputed by Home Guard and wardens, using 'alphabetical' logic. On the big day, a physical confrontation ensues.—KGF Vissers
