When Mrs Pike plans to take in an evacuee, Wilson misunderstands and thinks that she is pregnant. Mainwaring orders him to marry her, and just as the preparations are under way, Mrs Pike leads in a 10-year-old Cockney evacuee also named Arthur. The wedding doesn't take place.

Notes

Until 2001, when two "lost" episodes ("Operation Kilt" and "The Battle of Godfrey's Cottage") were found, "Sgt. Wilson's Little Secret" was the only episode surviving from the second series.

Even though in this episode it becomes common knowledge (erroneously as it turns out) that Sergeant Wilson and Mrs Pike are expecting a baby and so have decided to get married, from the next episode onwards things appear to have been retconned and as a consequence their “relationship” becomes a secret again to everyone, including Frank Pike.
