"Hold until relieved. Hold until relieved."

Did we really need to hear that four times? That was just obnoxious. Yeah, buddy, hold this until I'm relieved. Relieved of your stupidity.

I want the doctor to take your picture so I can look at you from inside as well.

At some point I was expecting "Use the force". The voice sounded like Alec Guiness'

I'm so excited, I think I'll brush all my teeth today!

That never bothered me because it was being used to remind us of the tense situation that the British airborne troops were in. Their fate was to be either killed, captured, or joined by their forces coming in from the beach. The final "Hold until relieved." marked their relief at the arrival of the other troops.

Nothing subtle about this film.

Everything over-done and hits you over yer head.

Not bad overall. 7/10.

The phrase was repeated so the American viewers could get the message.

Given the fact that Richard Todd actually fought at Pegasus Bridge that day I guess he's entitled to say it as many times as he wants.
