Agreed. It's been a terrific series. One i'll definitely pick up in a few months as it will be one for repeat viewings.
I'm sure the scene where Angela finally catches up with Roper and asks him if he's 'discombobulated' was a nod to the
Blackadder Ink and Incapability episode.
Also when Roper mentions Corky and frisky and Freddie i can't help think of Lieutenant George and his reminiscing about signing up for the war in the episode

Edmund: Yes, and how are all the boys now?
George: Well, er, Jacko and the Badger bought it at the first Ypres front,
unfortunately -- quite a shock, that. I remember Bumfluff's house-
master wrote and told me that Sticky had been out for a duck, and the
Gubber had snitched a parcel sausage-end and gone goose-over-stump
frogside.
Edmund: Meaning...?
George: I don't know, sir, but I read in the Times that they'd both been
killed.
Edmund: And Bumfluff himself...?
George: Copped a packet at Galipoli with the Aussies -- so had Drippy and
Strangely Brown. I remember we heard on the first morning of the
Somme when Titch and Mr Floppy got gassed back to Blighty.
