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.
Mainwaring and the platoon must keep their wits primed whilst guarding some captured U-Boat crew.
The platoon arranges a welcome party for the first American soldiers arriving in Britain. However, the best-laid plans of mice and men often go awry.
A train of events derails the Platoon's best efforts to form a royal guard of honour.
The platoon is obliged to attend an efficiency test exercise. With onions.
Wilson inherits a title to become 'The Honourable Arthur Wilson' but he insists he is still a man of the people.
Dad's Army goes Hammer Horror when the Jones's lorry runs low on fuel outside a spooky house on a stormy night.
Wilson enlists two unlikely recruits, the vicar and the verger, whilst Mainwaring is stuck in hospital.
