Thoughts

Captain Barker is in this episode but Colonel Hall is not.

Ronny Graham played the part of Skinny Sanders. I didn't recognize him but he was in a few films that I have seen including The World's Greatest Lover (1977), History of the World: Part I (1981), To Be or Not to Be (1983), Spaceballs (1987), and Robin Hood: Men in Tights (1993).
