Dad's Army: Big Guns
BBCV 4489
Released on BBC Video.
Small Box - Retail Tape
Three more brilliant episodes with Walmington-on-Sea's front line fighting force.
BIG GUNS
Our heroes recieve some heavy artillery when a dirty great naval gun (which makes a pretty big bang) is delivered in the Home Guard's yard. When the platoon has worked out how to fire it - and what to aim it at - Captain Mainwaring calls an emergency Town Council meeting. The bandstand is in the direct line of fire. . .
MENACE FROM THE DEEP
'Gawd help Walmington-on-Sea' - the Home Guard is manning the machine gun post at the end of the pier. Pike's lost the boat and the food, Frazer hears the cry of ancient mariners in the deep...and the platoon is nearly blown to Kingdom Come.
THE BULLET IS NOT FOR FIRING
Engaging enemy aircraft with rapid fire platoon uses up its precious ammunition and Captain Mainwaring calls a Court of Enquiry ...scheduled to coincide with the vicar's choir practice. When Jonesy hears the sound of angels in the middle of his testimony, he thinks his time has come..
