Dad's Army: The Deadly Attachment

Three more deliciously funny episodes with Captain Mainwaring's fully trained Home Guard platoon, always ready to strike terror into the heart of the Wehrmacht. THE DEADLY ATTACHMENT With Philip Madoc Face to face with the enemy at last! Captain Mainwaring's gallant platoon, detailed to guard a captive U-boat crew, rise to the occasion with all the competence and courage we've come to expect from the Home Guard. Which is perhaps why the warden finds a Nazi gun in his face and Jonesy ends up with a primed grenade down his trousers... IF THE CAP FIT... There's dissatisfaction in the ranks so Mainwaring decides to let the chief grumbler, Frazer, become chief for a while. In two days Wilson's lost his stripes, Jones has been branded a woolly-minded old ditherer and the new commanding officer has accepted an invitation to pipe in the haggis at an officer's Mess highland do. Only, Mainwaring is back in charge when the bagpipes arrive... THE HONOURABLE MAN A relation of Sergeant Wilson has died which puts him on the outer fringes of the aristocracy - much to Mainwaring's exasperation! When a hero of the Soviet Union arrives for an important ceremony in Walmington-on-Sea Mainwaring, determined to mastermind the proceedings, reminds Wilson that three pips on a common shoulder are more prestigious than three stripes on a honourable arm. © BBC
