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.
The Platoon is tasked with placing signposts to mark the route for a convoy but they soon have their own problems.
Pike gets his head stuck in the park railings and bombs create chaos. What's needed is a Man of Action.
The Platoon go on an exercise featuring secret agents and a gorilla.
Mainwaring's men practice Morris dancing for the spitfire fund procession. However, the woman playing Lady Godiva could be the greatest shock.
Lady Maltby loans her Rolls Royce to the Home Guard; typically the platoon mess things up.
When Jones accidentally kills a turkey, the platoon organises a lavish turkey dinner for the pensioners of Walmington-on-Sea.
