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.
