Put That Light Out
Sergeant Save My Boy
Uninvited Guests
Fallen Idol
From the annals of wartime Britain come four brilliantly funny episodes with Captain Mainwaring's fully trained Home Guard platoon, ever ready to strike terror into the heart of the Wehrmacht from their unit in Walmington-on-Sea. Always prepared to fight to the finish, this endearing team of characters are at their incompetent best in these wonderfully entertaining adventures specially adapted for radio.
So... accompany Jones, Pike and Frazer on an exercise to the local blacked-out lighthouse, become entangled with Pike in the barbed wire on Walmington beach, squat with Warden Hodge in Captain Mainwaring's church hall HQ, and be dismayed as the upstanding Mainwaring falls foul of an officer's drinking ritual. Will our hero redeem himself in truly heroic fashion?

McCarthy's tale of his hilarious trip around Ireland has gained thousands of fans all over the world.
Pete was born in Warrington to an Irish mother and an English father and spent happy summer holidays in Cork. Years later, reflecting on the many places he has visited as a travel broadcaster, Pete admits that he feels more at home in Ireland than anywhere.
