Diehard Dad's Army fan Phill Jupitus has selected four of his favourite episodes from the sitcom that captured the heart of a nation. As Jupitus says, 'There are episodes here you will be familiar with and some you may never have heard, but what I can promise is that they are all achingly funny.' 'The Man and the Hour' is the first ever episode of the series, in which Mainwaring barks out, 'Come on Adolf, we're ready for you!'; 'My British Buddy' finds Mollie Sugden guest starring as a Walmington inhabitant besotted with the new GIs in town; 'Time on My Hands' finds a German airman snagged by his parachute on the town hall clock; and in 'A Soldier's Farewell' Mainwaring dreams he is Napoleon at Waterloo, with Wilson an elegant Duke of Wellington... Providing stalwart support to the stars are John Laurie, James Beck, Arnold Ridley, Ian Lavender and Bill Pertwee.2 CDs. 1 hr 53 mins.

Comedian Phill Jupitus is a long-standing and enthusiastic Dad's Army fan, and this CD features four of his favourite episodes of the classic series. In 'Fallen Idol' (3 June 1975), the men are away on a weekend exercise, and Mainwaring's decision to fraternise with the men is called into question by a fellow officer. 'The Royal Train' (22 June 1976) sees them all at Walmington on Sea railway station awaiting the arrival of His Majesty, while in 'No Spring for Frazer' (3 June 1974), Frazer loses an essential component of his Lewis gun - and fears it may have fallen into one of his coffins. Finally, in 'The Deadly Attachment' (4 May 1976) the men are given command of a captured U-Boat crew, and the German captain forms an instant dislike for Mainwaring. Providing stalwart support to the stars are John Laurie, James Beck, Arnold Ridley, Ian Lavender and Bill Pertwee.2 CDs. 1 hr 51 mins.

'Present Arms' was compiled for radio from two television episodes, 'Battle of the Giants' and 'Shooting Pains', and was first broadcast as a special Christmas edition on BBC Radio 4 in 1974. Initially written for television, the 'Dad's Army' series ran to 80 episodes and spawned a film, stage show and long-running radio series.

Comedy
 Characters: 10 male, 5 female, plus extras
 Scenery: Unit set
 Based on the hugely successful British television series that ran for seven seasons, this uproarious comedy relates the adventures of a hapless cafe owner, Rene, in occupied France. You can see all of your favorite TV characters in the flesh, including Rene's tone-deaf wife Edith, Major-General von Klinkerhoffen and the Gestapo officer Herr Flick!
 He and his wife have stashed a priceless portrait stolen by the Nazis in a sausage in their cellar, where two British airmen are also hiding until the Resistance can repatriate them. Communications with London using the wireless that is disguised as a cockatoo add to the many embarrassments this intrepid proprietor endures in the company of his patrons. News that the Fuhrer is scheduled to visit the town inspires tricksters disguised as Hitler to frequent the cafe. Meanwhile Rene summons all the wit he can muster to save his cafe and his life.
