The platoon realise what is going on and they rush to the church to try and stop the bells, but the door is locked. Mainwaring tells Pike to phone GHQ and inform them it is not an invasion. They eventually get in after Wilson unbolts the door from the inside, and find a terrified Hodges, Vicar and Verger hanging from above by the bell ropes. Pike returns to inform Mainwaring that he had managed to stop the Coldstream Guards and a whole armored division from coming. Laughing, Pike adds that the whole south coast was on red alert and the Brigadier himself wanted to know what "blithering idiot" was responsible. Pike tells Mainwaring that he has made him an appointment to see the Brigadier at 10:30 tomorrow.

BBC audience research at the time found that Ian Lavender had "surpassed himself" in his performance in a story giving him the "chance to display his versatility and comedy talent". Lavender has also said this was one of his favourite episodes. References Dad's Army (series 8) episodes 1975 British television episodes
