Dad's Army
Intoducing the Walmington-On-Sea home guard, a bunch of hapless old and young men who have kept people all over the world very amused for the past thirty seven years. Creator/Writers David Croft and Jimmy Perry made each episode of Dad's Army as funny as the previous one, with an element of humour which has survived decades. It has the most memorable catch phrases of any sitcom and due to our fondness of it, it's probably the most re-run show ever. The BBC keep an episode of it queued up incase of a fault at TV centre and it even successfully invaded the big screen with a memorable, well loved Dad's Army feature film made by Columbia pictures.
After an unenthusiastic physical training session, the platoon use subterfuge on a training exercise and reveal a mystery.
Captain Mainwaring makes his plans to respond to an invasion then a series of miscommunications occurs.
Walker gets his call-up papers; the platoon devise a series of ploys to avoid losing him to active service.
The platoon receive a lecture on camouflage and Mrs Pike makes a stunning announcement.
Mainwaring is told by HQ to make a promotion. Would it be wise to promote Frazer?
During the German fire bombing campaign, the platoon has to deal with fires and a suspect enemy agent, all with the usual high jinks.
