    Even the home guard will be carrying on their regular duties. This evening, captain manoran and sergeant wilson are going to be busy in the vicar's office getting on with the paperwork. Well, if there's any help i'll mix the paste that'll do That.
    Captain man has asked me to give you a lecture on bayonet drill. Now, remember lads, there's no substitute for the old cold steel. They don't like it, which I mentioned to you before many times.
    Many millions just be quiet in the racks I will not have talking while i'm talking now when it comes to bennett bill. Very important thing to remember is your screen. Now the scream is the thing that really Puts the wind up the enemy.
    Now you fill your lungs up to the air and let it out like this [ Music ]. Now I want you all to try some screaming mr jones. If we all start screaming weren't the upset, mr man, in an uncle after their paperwork.
    Don't you concern yourself with them: [ __, ] they'll be too busy to worry about us. We've got all those requisition duplicates in date order yet wilson. Yes, I almost said just in the last dozen sir.

    Would you ever sorry, sir? Another shaken by that terrible noise. What are they doing out there? They're? Not they do it a little practicing quietly, because I can't do it quietly. It's action, that's what that is action with the capital, a who is this mind you're, showing a bit more action.
    Sometimes wilson doing a bit of streaming, that's well! Somehow I don't think screaming is quite my style. I sometimes wonder just what is your style? I I completely forgot. This parcel came For you just before you arrived it's from girls details! Oh good good! This must be the new hat.
    I ordered just come in time for the ceremony of church played on sunday there. What do you think [ Music ] I do if they didn't have to be quite so noisy out there, it's so difficult to concentrate. Well done! Your turn walk up aim at the dummy's chest.
    What's your jonesy? Oh really, I think i'll just pop into the hall sir, and ask them to keep the noise down a bit. I wouldn't, if I were you wilson, they put the practice dummy up just outside the office. You might turn out to be their first real target.
    I say: well, that's! Perhaps it isn't all that bad after all, you could be next pipey all right. Yes, I really am terribly pleased with This new hat. I shall definitely wear it at the parade on sunday now, let's see, I better put it somewhere safe for the moment.
    Well, there's a nail behind the door, sir, oh yeah vicar can go to hell. Well, that's not very likely, sir sorry, mister name, your stupid boy. Look what you've done to my hat! Look at this hole! Oh dear, with your head in it! This is a new hat.
    I won't be able to wear it in the church play now. Will I not if it's raining that'll do answer that with all right momentum? 3. 3.
    You really should be more careful like the three miscommanders, your wife, sir tell them, i'm not him! She just heard you shout him hello, elizabeth! Yes, yes dear well, I know dear, but the fact is, I just couldn't stand Sleeping with you any longer down in the shelter we haven't had any average for months there, just a minute elizabeth, don't stand there, golfing boy get out. What's that what we can't come and move the bedding back into the shelter now it's out of the question. What? Oh? Yes, Very! Well, elizabeth! Yes, goodbye goodbye! I'm finished! I have to go with some i'll leave you to dismiss the parade.
    Yes go, sir. I quite understand i'll just slip out of the side door that should explain to the man that i've been called away on urgent business all right, sir good night right now, we'll move the dummy up the other end, But we don't have no more accidents evening. Corporal oh yeah that captain main wearing in yes, no, don't bother i'll just breathe in evening sergeant hello good evening, captain square captain bane worrying about um he's been quoted by our nurse in business.

    This is just great,brings back so many nice memories watching Dads Army with my late father. I never knew that the cast done any radio shows,these are just as good as the TV episodes, I actually laugh out loud with some of the gags. It's brilliant to have the whole cast the same as the TV ones,impeccable timing and all great actors. Wendy Richards and even Pat Coombs...are in some...top top entertainment

    Why was Captain M so frightened of Mrs M - he sounded like a frightened mouse when she rang him - did the writers know someone like her?

      She was an invisible character in Dad's Army... perhaps they did know someone like her, a strong minded, mature woman who had certain phobias and anxieties?

    Why wasn’t Godfrey medical bag checked regularly as he has hardly any medication - was this state of affairs normal? Totally useless - no bandages etc

      I can imagine they were probably not equipped to the "battlefield standard". They paint the real dads army as having to use "their ingenuity" in place of proper kit... (or: perhaps im getting truth mixed with the fiction of Dads Army!?).

      Because this is a comedy show, not a documentary about the Home Guard.
