A Soldier's Farewell 8 April 1975

Diehard Dad's Army fan Phill Jupitus has chosen four fantastic episodes from the sitcom that captured the heart of the nation. In addition, he has written an introductory sleeve note explaining just what makes these four episodes great. As he 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 ail achingly funny. '

The Man and the Hour is the first ever episode of the radio series, in which Mainwaring sets up a troop of Local Defence Volunteers {'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; while Time On My Hands finds a German airman snagged by his parachute on the town hall clock. 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 .
