    Structure of the episode

    This episode features John Cleese as the Commandant of Colditz Prison which is filled with Cockney prisoners who he fears are always trying to escape. The prisoners are all named Nobby or Chalky. Cleese takes great delight in the German SS roll call which features such notables as Herr Brush, Herr Net, Herr Restorer, and Herr Cut. His love of doing his German accent previews Basil Fawlty's strutting in the Germans episode of Fawlty Towers ("Don't mention the war!").
