Something Nasty in the Vault
The Showing Up of Corporal Jones
The Loneliness of the Long-Distance Walker
Sorry Wrong Number
From the annals of wartime Britain come four brilliantly funny episodes with Captain Mainwaring's fully trained Home Guard platoon, ever ready to strike terror into the heart of the Wehrmacht from their unit in Walmington-on-Sea. Always prepared to fight to the finish, this endearing team of characters are at their incompetent best in these wonderfully entertaining adventures specially adapted for radio.
So... Watch out for a bomb in the bank, an inspection from Area HQ, call up papers for Private Walker and some telephone confusion.
