"The Recruit" is the seventh episode of the sixth series of the British television sitcom Dad's Army.
Captain Mainwaring is indisposed due to an ingrowing toenail, so Sergeant Wilson takes charge temporarily of the platoon.
Unable to handle the situation, they call for the rest of the section, who identify the boy as a local troublemaker.
The boy states that he is going to "tell his Uncle Willie", who turns out to be the Chief Warden, Hodges.
After having a laugh, Mainwaring turns to the vicar and the verger and states that "This never would have happened if you had handled the situation properly."
