[edit] Plot
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
To raise money, the platoon dress up in costumes and act as historical figures in the past that have taken over England, such as William the Conqueror. Mainwaring decides these will be staged so that in fact, William the Conqueror lost the Battle of Hastings. He quotes, "England shall...never to be ruled again."
