Dad's Army: Season 5

Walker and Godfrey become trapped in the gasworks they are guarding. Mainwaring and his men come to the rescue with watery consequences.

The older members of the platoon are at risk of being forced to transfer to the ARPs and resort to various barmy solutions to make themselves look younger.

Captain Mainwaring deals with unpatriotic and rude behaviour then has a vivid complex dream.

Birds, and a bird, cause problems for several members of the platoon.

Jones and Godfrey mess up communications, so LCpl Jones uses his initiative to get a vital message through to the platoon.

Frazer thinks Mainwaring is a wind bag and that he could do better. The captain needs to prove he can call the tune.

A bomb alleviates the social awkwardness at Captain Mainwaring's party, then Arthur, Jack, Joe, James and Pike are required to count up the bank's cash.

The Walmington-on-Sea platoon are called in to help with the harvest at Godfrey's ladyfriend's farm.

Jones thinks he has blown it by losing a £500 charity collection for the new servicemen's canteen.

Captain Mainwaring, with assistance from the men of the platoon and others, are challenged to prove that the brain can compensate for a lack of brawn.

ARP Chief Hodges thinks he has bested Mainwaring at last. Legal twists, turns and stumbles follow in the courtroom.

In 1941 the War office decides to test an experimental invention for delivering explosives. For secrecy the test is done on the coast, using three local Home Guard platoons. Mainwaring's vanity is used to make him volunteer blindly for 'special duties', which turn out to be the dirty work. However the weapon gets away, following Frank's illegal home-made radio, and only the bumbling bunch is in a position to stop it blowing up all Walmington on Sea.

The platoon is called to seize a German pilot whose parachute is caught on the church steeple clock. Getting him down is hard enough, given the language barrier. Then Jones manages to drop the ladder and the warden refuses to help. Even the clock's hourly display figures seems to remember it's German-made. Luckily, the vicar and Wilson recall their fairy tales..
