And Meechan is dressed as a Belgian labourer, but he's also disguised himself as a hunchback soldier.

Yeah, eye patch, surely.

An eye patch.

But the rationale for this is that, you know, he's a man of fighting age.

So if the Germans say to him, why are you not in the army?

He can gesture at his hunch.

And that will be the reason.

So Edith takes these two blokes in.

She keeps them hidden in the clinic and she personally tends to their wounds.

And then after seven days, the Belgian guide returns to collect them.

And they're going to be passed from one person to another to escort them towards the frontier with the neutral Netherlands, so Holland, from where they will be able to escape back to Britain.

Now, Colonel Bodger didn't make it.

He could barely walk, unfortunately, because he'd been wounded in the thigh and the foot.

And he was captured on the outskirts of Brussels when the Germans discovered that he was carrying a false passport.

But this bloke, Meechin, previously disguised as a hunchback, has now disguised himself as a fish hawker.

So a man who sells fish.

Fish, fish.

Poisson.

Poisson.

It's an easy part to play.
