Dad's Army: Wake Up Walmington
BBCV 6810
Released on BBC Video.
Small Box - Retail Tape
Three classic episodes in which our gallant Home Guard try to stir Walmington out of its apathy, embark on a highly important top secret mission...and support a lovesick Jones!
Wake Up Walmington
For once, Captain Mainwaring and the Warden are in agreement: after two years at war people have become complacent and are not taking them seriously enough. Apparently, schoolchildren make faces at the Warden behind his back and villagers call the Home Guard "The Geriatric Fusiliers" . Its time to "Wake Up Walmington"!
Number Engaged
The platoon has been given a very important mission - to patrol a stretch of telephone wires which also relay information from the invasion warning device set up off the coast. It all seems to be in hand until-during the vicar's open-air service-they "raise their faces to heaven" , only to see an unexpected bomb caught in the wires.
Never Too Old
At first everyone assumes that old age lies behind Jones' increasing woolly-headedness. But nothing could be further from the truth - its all because he's fallen in love. The object of his affection is the formidably upholstered Mrs Fox and he's asked her to marry him. But will she say yes?
