Dad's Army, My British Buddy

A brilliant episode of the classic comedy which just happens to feature one of the most memorable moments in the history of sitcom. Don't tell him Pike!

As the first contingent of American soldiers arrives in Walmington-on-Sea, Captain Mainwaring and his troops prepare to welcome them - then have a punch up!

Watch out, Mainwaring's men are about! The platoon provides a guard of honour for a royal train passing through Walmington.

Classic wartime sitcom. Mainwaring and the platoon take part in a Home Guard efficiency test.

Timeless fun with the elderly chaps protecting our shores from nasty Nazis. Captain Mainwaring is annoyed when a death elevates Sgt Wilson to the aristocracy.

Jimmy Perry's classic wartime sitcom. The van transporting the platoon breaks down outside what looks like a deserted house.

Sgt Wilson allows the vicar and the verger to join the platoon while Mainwaring is away in hospital. When he returns, it's clear he's unhappy about the arrangement.
