During World War II Great Britain was forced to call up the civilians to form Local Defence Volunteers (later known as the Home Guard) - the formation that would backup the regular army in case of German invasion. This series show how this force looked like. More or less...
1 | Ring Dem Bells |
| Mainwaring is displeased when he finds out his platoon has been chosen to play Nazis in a training film, and even less so when he finds out Pike and Sgt. Wilson are to play the German officers. |
2 | When You’ve Got to Go |
| Despite his bad chest, blocked sinuses, weak ankles, and a recently acquired facial tic, Pike is passed A1 on medical and is set to join the Army. |
3 | Is There Honey Still for Tea? |
| Godfrey’s cottage is under threat from the building of a new aerodrome. |
4 | Come in, Your Time is Up |
| The platoon go camping and discover three Nazis in a dinghy, aircrew who bailed out when their plane was shot down. Pike wants to shoot through the dinghy and sink them, but Mainwaring dismisses this as not "playing with a straight bat." Wilson comes up with a more civilised strategy. |
5 | High Finance |
| Mainwaring stops Jones from cashing any more cheques because his bank balance is in the red. |
6 | The Face on the Poster |
| Mainwaring prepares a poster for a recruitment drive, eager to increase his platoon to a company and gain promotion to Major – but a print shop mix-up lands the platoon in trouble, and Jones, the face of the recruitment drive, in a POW camp. |
