Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Filmed between series 3 and 4, this was the cast's first time working in color — they found it 'terribly strange.'
The film's release in 1971 coincided with genuine nostalgia for WWII 'Blitz spirit' as Britain faced economic crisis — the bumbling heroes felt weirdly reassuring.
