When the Inspector Calls

The episode starts with the entire platoon on parade

CPT Mainwaring: "Okay men, the last time we met was Friday, when Corporal Jones got wed. Also I must say last Friday I thought was one the niece's day of the war. I'm glad that Jones as clicked but we've got to remember that there is war on, so let's not always talk about. Now"

LNC Jones: "Permission to speak sir, I'd like to thank you for a wonderful day Friday was Me & Mrs Fox would like you & Mrs Mainwaring to come round for dinner tomorrow evening, also can I say the coo clock is a bit broken as the pigeon only comes out midnight & makes a racket as it woke up Mrs Fox & Mr Blueit next door. Thank you for lovely day"

CPT Mainwaring: "Yes well thank you Jones but could I just say your wife isn't known as Mrs Fox anymore she is known as Mrs Jones & it is not a pigeon it as yellow canary"

LNC Jones: "No it makes like at belly noise when you're hungry. I don't think it is canary because Mrs Fox I mean Mrs Jones is elected to canary & she hasn't sneezed at all"

PVT Godfrey: "Mr Jones, I remember my sister Dolly is elected to wet paint but she always itches so ask Mrs Jones does she get any itches. Also I had Canary once during the first world war why I was down the trench as medical solider, one of my mate Jimmy got killed & he left behind is yellow Canary & he never gave it a name. So after he died I took care of the Canary I treated as one of mine & I called it Little Michael, unfornatly 2 weeks later he died"

LNC Jones: "How did he die?"

PVT Godfrey: "Well you see there was no food coming to section B trench due to our food deliver got killed. No-one could deliver our food so the other troops wanted to eat little Michael, I said no. Then a hour later one troop were shot in the arm, why was attending him & discovered he was lying I was there 5 minutes then I heard this gunshot nearby when I got back into the trench I found the cage was open, & Little Michael was not in there then I heard the troops eating something & smelt something cooking it was little Michael was dead they finished their piece & saved me piece so I was so hungry & eaten it & the over troops hadn't eaten for 5 days. Then Sergeant Highman came with two troops with wheel barrel with lots of food & that was minute after I eat Little Michael, the reason It took so long cause some food was stolen"

LNC Jones: "Well If was hungry I couldn't eat mine because it is metal"

CPT Mainwaring: "Meanwhile away from the jungle. I've had orders from G.H.Q there saying..."

SGT Wilson: "Wait minute, I remember I had bird once"

CPT Mainwaring: "Oh my gauld"



SGT Wilson: "I had one when I was only 2 years old I called it Joey, unfornatly my dad always kept a revolver on the shelf from when he was solider & picked it up as since I was young my mind wasn't good then. I shot it & my mum shouted at me then the cat eaten it"

CPT Mainwaring: "Finished!!, right the next person who should measurer bird they have to do 100 press ups. Right!! Let's get onto war right. Now G.H.Q have sent a letter saying that all over the country an Inspector will be checking up the Home Guard now were going to be first & if the platoon does poor why the inspector here will tell the General & the Captain will be sacked & be going down the ranks so let's make sure we do very well"

PVT Frazier: "Well, we've done it before when I thought I lost my gun pieces in Mr Blueit brothers coffin"

CPT Mainwaring: "Yes well that was to save your knees from being locked away for year.

PVT Frazier: "Well listen when I was a teenager in Scotland I used to be little toe rag breaking in houses building, even breaking my old school to change my test results. Anyhow when I used to steal money from people's houses they would never notice because I left stuff how it was & never caught me I did it for from the age of 14 to 16. When I was caught for the first time breaking into library trying to steal books & policeman caught me & I was put in a detention centre for 3 months. Since I was rested I never broke into any places until Mr Blueit house. So come sir"

CPT Mainwaring: "Oh alright as long as don't steal anything also leave everything how it is so no one knows we've been in there"

PVT Frazier: "I swear I've only been caught once. One problem there's only two of us because the rest have gone for Sunday lunch"

CPT Mainwaring: "Ahh that is problem well we break in then. Prabs then go & get them to sneak in learning right lets go"

The School

CPT Mainwaring: "Right here we are. How do we get in"

PVT Frazier: "Right, now we must find the back of the school where no one can see so open the window with my crow bar"

CPT Mainwaring: "Right let's go"

They walk to the back of the school

PVT Frazier: "I think this will do you keep watch to see if someone is coming"



CPT Mainwaring: "Frazier, there's problem there are houses behind the school & the upstairs windows can see us"

PVT Frazier: "Well unless their upstairs they can't see us"

CPT Mainwaring: "Yes, well we can't see if their upstairs"

PVT Frazier: "Well, use your binoculars"

CPT Mainwaring: "Oh good thinking"

So CPT Mainwaring looks through his binoculars. Why Frazier is trying to open the window with crow bar.

Meanwhile Mr Hodges is house is next door as Mr Hodges & the Verger walk in his house.

The Verger: "Well I don't want Mainwaring lot ruining the show. Besides you'd make a good Captain Hook"

Mr Hodges: "Well maybe you right. Mainwaring lot would ruin the show. Here why don't I play Peter Pan?"

The Verger: "No you can't Mr Hodges because that's a part for a kid"

Mr Hodges: "Well, Is there anymore parts for me"

The Verger: "Well let's see, there's the Vicar playing the part as Wendy's father. Mrs Pike to play Wendy's mother. I'm playing the part as Mr Sweeney the pirate, Mr Blueit will play a pirate, the town clerk as a policeman & CPT Square as Wendy's grandfather"

The Verger: "But not a word the vicar he wouldn't agree with this"

Mr Hodges: "Don't worry Mum's the word. Look he's opened it well have to wait till he leaves then we'll do our business"

Meanwhile Mainwaring is trying to get through the window with Frazier indoors.

CPT Mainwaring: "Oh it's no good I can't go through"



PVT Frazier: "Well it's not my fault you so fat"

CPT Mainwaring: "Look you'll have to go & look some keys for the main door I'll go down to the main doors"

Why Frazier looks through stuff he just can't find any sort of keys why Mainwaring is outside waiting. Then Frazier goes to doors opens with no keys.

PVT Frazier: "It wasn't locked the whole time"

Then Mr Hodges & the Verger run towards them

Mr Hodges: "Ahh caught yer"
