Musical interludes were provided by Ray Ellington and the Alan Clare Quartet. Alan Clare also took speaking parts. The show was broadcast on Radio 4 in 1972.

Milligan Remembered. Agent and friend Norma Farnes reflects on Spike Milligan, 10 years after his death. Includes clips from classic shows.
Adolf Hitler: My Part in his Downfall. Milligan is at home with his family. His mother is digging the air-raid shelter when Neville Chamberlain announces that Britain is at war with Germany. The family response is for Spike, his father and brother to produce boyish drawings of war machines (the drawings are included in the book), which are taken to the War Office.
Milligan receives a letter marked O.H.M.S., which his uncle advises him not to open. After some weeks similar letters arrive marked "Urgent". Eventually he opens one containing a "cunningly worded invitation to partake in World War II". About then, in an attempt to impress girls at a gym, he slips a disc, whereupon he's hospitalized to determine whether he's faking. After three months of avoiding call-up, he is given "a train ticket and a picture of Hitler reading "This is your enemy"". He searches the train, but can't find him.
