Dad's Army, Series One

Dad's Army (1968-1977), British sitcom about the Home Guard in World War II by Jimmy Perry and David Croft. The show focuses on the Walmington-On-Sea platoon of the Home Guard, commanded by pompous bank manager Captain Mainwaring, assisted by his mild-mannered chief clerk, Sergeant Wilson. Other members of the platoon include: Lance Corporal Jones, an old soldier; Private Frazer, a Scotsman and former Naval CPO; Private Godfrey, the elderly medical orderly; Private Pike, the youngest member of the platoon; and Private Walker, a black marketeer. This motley band of men provide Walmington-on-Sea's last line of defence against the Nazi hordes.
