Don't Forget the Diver
If the Cap Fits
A Brush with the Law
Getting the Bird
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... Watch out as the platoon tries to capture a watermill, Frazer does a stint as Captain, Mainwaring is accused of breaking blackout and Wilson gets thrown out by Mrs Pike.
