On the assumption that most of last week's comments were "how did you comment a week ago": the whole season gets uploaded and scheduled in one go, including these comments!

This episode needs to be twice as long, there was so much more to this man's career. For instance he told the Germans that one of his "agents" had died, so they started to send his "widow" a pension

Fortitude
39itude
And everyone jumps on "41itude"
Everything is perfect. It's fantastic.

I understand why you’re moving on from Citation Needed. But this episode really feels like the show in its prime.

The limp guns were a legitimate issue. The inflatable tanks had to be pumped up more in the mornings and evenings because the cold made the pressure drop. Luckily, the staff reinflating the tanks looked like normal maintenance

It's been four years, and I still think Gary's "shepherd's pie" pun is the greatest thing these four have ever done.

@ninnusridhar 7 years ago

Additional fact! Garcia was a farmer. A Shepard! Branan deserves a point

8:36: I can just see him dancing down the street anachronistically singing that tune from Willy Wonka: "I've got a golden codebook, I've got a golden codebook! I've got a golden chance to win the war!"

Hey I want to spy for you.
Britain: No
How about I do anyway!

Since I was a child in Spain, I've been obsessed with this story my father told me, didn't know the actual name of Garbo but when I heard about his birth year I noticed immediately, an awesome show, I love this!!!

As smart as the whole ploy was, I'd still hate to be the guy who either a) Missed out on the 3am message about D-Day b) Handed the double agent all the highest security codes and ciphers 😂😂😂

2:35 Oh yeah, Operation Mincemeat! I heard about that from a YouTube video, from some guy with a red t-shirt. I wonder what he's doing now?

Putting in expense reports for both sides whilst fighting fascism! That might be the most Catalan thing I've ever seen!! "The spy who Catfished the Third Reich" The movie writes itself! XD

Subtitler's note: Gary's joke was goddamn fire

@chepulis 7 years ago

I was expecting to watch fresh episodes of Citation Needed on my deathbed and i will be in naked protest until you announce six more seasons and a movie

I'm so sad you guys aren't doing this format anymore. This is just very enjoyable.

3:50: "The Spy Who Wasn't". I'd watch that James Bond prequel.
7:07: "From Bovril to Garbo." Not sure I'd want to see that James Bond prequel...
12:25: "A Secret Cache of Nazis." If that was a Bond film, we'd know the series had jumped the shark.
