The Man and the Hour
Museum Piece
Command Decision
The Enemy Within the Gates
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 for a disorganised rabble of volunteers, some antiquated weaponry, the continuing shortage of proper equipment and the platoon's first Nazi prisoner.

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.
