A Soldier's Farewell
All is Safely Gathered In
The Big Parade
Asleep in the Deep

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... Enjoy Captain Mainwaring's dream of Napoleonic greatness, Warmington's finest let loose on a threshing machine, the attempted acquisition of a Regimental Mascot (first catch your goat) and a watery incarceration at the local pumping station.
