'Dad's Army' fan Phill Jupitus selects four of his favourite episodes
from the evergreen radio series, starring Arthur Lowe, John le Mesurier
and Clive Dunn.

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.
