My favourite episode. R.I.P. Tony Selby (26.02.1938 - 05.09.2021). I never tire of rewatching Get Some In. The characters exemplify a composite of my husband and his fellow airmen in the RNZAF in the 1960s. So much of Get Some Is familiar.
This was pretty popular back in the day, but I don't think its ever been repeated since. Odd, because it's very well performed with a strong cast and well written too. Interesting to see stuff about national service, as it was abolished nearly 60 years back, there will be less and less people that now remember it.
The original screen size in the 70's was 4:3......this has been widened to 16:9, which is why the Bev looks sleeker than it really was! The Blackburn Beverley looked cumbersome and old fashioned but the SAS and British Army were glad to see this monster over the Ground Zeros of the North Borneo jungle in the 60's..

George Baker was born in Bulgaria, if people asked him if he considered himself Bulgarian he'd say "Kittens can be born in a biscuit tin but it doesn't make them Chocolate Digestives".
I thought the Wing Commander's (Pilot) laugh was classic just how people laughed at my Boarding School in the 70's. This looks like a Blackburn B-101 Beverley looking very sleek due picture format then.I see that Flight Lieutenant Grant's sleeve stripes consists of a Pilot Officer's stripe (thinner) and a Flying Officers' Stripe (thicker) which is incorrect and should be 2 thicker ones.
This programme could not be shown on main stream tv now due the script,it was not written at the time for now as the PC brigade will be livid as it does not fit their mindset.
In my first months [ July 1951 intake ] we were referred to them as “ Working Blue “ and “ Best Blue “, at least verbally and possibly but not necessarily probably they may well have been referred to as number 2 dress etc in Station Notices....but I personally never recall hearing the reference to Working Blue as “battledress” which term for a very long while I always held to be the Army term for that style of tunic, which may have been due to conversations on the subject with friends serving in the army.

Great comedy. My Pop was in 10 Sqn RAAF from 1938 - 1943. RIP Grandpa George.
They had a very good RAF advisor when this was being made ! Superb comedy !
It's such a brilliant series, comedy at its best .
this is one of the funniest episodes.......some great lines in there

frglee I sometimes wish they'd bring national service back lol
There's a globalist drive on to crush national spirit, it's no accident the likes of this doesn't get re-shown
It's being repeated on Talking pictures tv and Forces TV on weekends
My father caught TB doing national service, did him some good.
Can't believe I watched this in my teens. No wonder it's been forgotten.
Gone Yes Forgotten never
Marsh gets some brilliant lines in this episode
07:53 Marsh's finest moment. He actually does the right thing for once.
This show was ahead of its time; the Beverley didn't enter RAF service until 1956.
Brilliant comedy! But looks like infantry training😂.
It's called live ammunition. Why it it makes people dead I do not know. Classic.
They’re gonna send us to Malaya😂
I love this episode
My Grandfather really didnt see a plane until two years into his RAF service 2:30 .
Flew in beverlys and argosy, ansons,chipmunks, all in the atc

A Blackburn Beverley.
LOL - Poor Cpl Marsh!. On a side note, I would have *LOVED* a ride in a Beverley.
Thanx
Me too. Only one left now.
My Dad flew in one. He was in the Royal Pioneer Corps (corporal 1955-1970) and looks a lot like Marsh!
ToonandBBfan I series six
I once knew a lovely young lady called Beverley ;-)...........

Mightily heavenly...

Turbulence TURBULENCE
Compulsive viewing😂
What type of plane are we going up in cpl,if I had my way" one with a dicky engine, and no wings " 🤣🤣🤣
Slightly funnier than the actual war.
A plane.....plane, what is a plane......RAF call it an aeroplane and only an aeroplane.
8-42: Loaded or not.........
No ear plugs?

He ordered them into number 2 dress but they were in BD, unless the RAF have different designated uniforms?
colin Paterson I know what you’re saying and thought the same but it turns out it was No2 dress in 1955!
@@bugler75 In later episodes they call thier SDs blues which is a nickname for No1s in the army.
colin Paterson in the aircadets they also have multiple types of uniforms

the correct phrase is "an apple a day keeps the doctor at bay" , not "an apple a day keeps the doctor away" !
Not the way we said it.
William Butler it's either!
