Which Way To The War (ITV 1994, Simon Baker, William Tapley)

One off comedy pilot Which Way To The War was set during World War II where two Australian and two British soldiers are separated from their unit. The quartet take cover in a deserted farmhouse where a group of Italian prostitutes (posing as nurses) also end up.

This was a typical David Croft and Jeremy Lloyd show but made for ITV rather the BBC and at a time when their work was somewhat out of favour.

Simon Baker was billed as Simon Baker Denny.
