Shortly afterwards, they get drafted and fall into the clutches of the Sergeant they have just bested. They are sent to France to repair roads in front of the Allied advance but get captured.

VIBE
A delightful British comedy where ordinary blokes hilariously navigate the absurdities of war. Expect charmingly low-stakes chaos, witty banter, and a feel-good underdog story that proves brains can triumph over brawn, even in uniform.
