The Enemy Within the Gates is the fourth episode of the first series of the British comedy series Dad's Army, which was originally transmitted on Wednesday 28 August 1968.
[edit] Synopsis
A stranger with a suspicious foreign accent convinces Mainwairing's men that he is a Polish officer serving with GHQ who has come to inform them of a £10 reward for every Nazi arrested. While on night patrol, Jones' section capture two Germans pilots, but Private Godfrey complicates matters by allowing them to escape while he visits the lavatory.
Captain Winogrodzki of the Polish Forces informs the platoon that there will be a £10 reward for every live parachutist captured. Jones, Walker and Pike catch two, who escape and are caught by Winogrodzki, who announces his intention to claim the bounty for himself. But when the prisoners are to be taken to GHQ, Walker convinces the soldiers to take Winogrodzki too, on account of his accent. The platoon spend their £30 on a celebration dinner.
- Nigel Rideout was given an extra £10 for writing the German dialogue in the script.[1]
