The classic BBC TV comedy series of the Home Guard of Walmington-on-Sea who battle daily against the Germans and local ARP Warden Hodges, comes to the stage in three hilarious episodes. In The Deadly Attachment the platoon have to guard a captured U-Boat Captain and his crew. But fearless Captain Mainwaring incurs German displeasure when he orders the defiant prisoners be served soggy fish and chips! Mum’s Army sees the Home Guard recruiting women but as Mrs Mainwaring “hasn’t left the house since Munich”, she won’t be joining her husband’s platoon. So when newcomer Mrs Gray enlists, Captain Mainwaring is set for a brief encounter. In the Godiver Affair, the platoon are rehearsing their Morris Dancing routine as part of a fund raising carnival parade, which will include a ride past by Lady Godiva. Unfortunately for Captain Mainwaring, there’s a last minute substitution for Godiva! All the well loved characters are here including: Stupid boy Pike, Don’t panic, don’t panic Jonesey, Doomed, we’re all doomed Fraser, May I be excused, sir? Godfrey, and all under the command of the redoubtable Captain Mainwaring and his self-effacing deputy, Sergeant Wilson.
