Seasons 3 and 4 of the perennially popular British sitcom set in a
holiday camp in the late 50s/early 60s. In 'Nice People with Nice
Manners', Yvonne and Barry hold a party in their chalet for the
staff they consider to be 'socially acceptable'. But when Peggy
mixes up the invitations, they get a few unexpected guests. In
'Carnival Time', Joe enlists Ted's help in organising a float for
the town carnival. 'A Matter of Conscience' sees the staff at
Maplin's attempting to thwart the local council's plans to build a
new hospital right next to the camp by making as much noise as they
can. In 'The Pay-Off', the council is still determined to go ahead
with its plans to build the hospital, so Joe resorts to bribing the
local councillors. In 'Trouble and Strife', Ted's ex-wife is
demanding that he pay up his maintenance arrears. Ted has to act
quickly - and cunningly - to raise the cash in time. 'Stripes' sees
Joe promoting Gladys to Head Yellowcoat after a secret visit to the
camp. In 'Co-Respondent's Course', Jeffrey's wife sends her new
boyfriend to ask Jeffrey for a divorce. When Jeffrey is reluctant
to give grounds, her boyfriend decides to try to unearth some
evidence himself. 'It's a Blue World' sees Ted arranging a special
late-night showing of an adult film for the male campers. In
'Eruptions', Ted retaliates after having his act rudely interrupted
by a volcano in the ballroom. In 'The Society Entertainer', Spike
is a changed man after falling head over heels for one of the
female campers - much to the detriment of his act. Meanwhile,
Jeffrey has decided that Radio Maplin would benefit from having a
new voice on the airwaves. In 'Sing You Sinners', Jeffrey finds
himself standing in for the local chaplain to conduct the Sunday
Half Hour - with unnerving results. 'Maplin Intercontinental' sees
the troupe competing for a very special prize in this year's Best
Yellowcoat Competition: a transer to the new Maplin's Holiday Camp
in the Bahamas. In 'All Change', Joe appoints a new supervisor for
the Yellowcoats, but is less than delighted when he discovers that
she insists on having a chalet all to herself at the peak of the
season when the camp is filled to capacity.

In this stage adaptation of the hugely popular TV series by Jimmy
Perry and David Croft, Paul Carpenter and Ian Gower revisit the
1950s and Maplins Holiday Camp with its host of colourful
characters. It's the start of a new season and founder Joe Maplin
announces that he is setting up a camp in the Bahamas. He needs
female yellowcoats to go and work out there and the annual 'Miss
Yellowcoat' competition will decide who is to go. Rivalry between
the girls is fierce, with Sylvia and Gladys joint forerunners to
win the coveted yellow sash. Camp cleaner Peggy, meanwhile, is
thrilled at the prospect of a vacancy for a new yellowcoat and
convinces Entertainments Manager Jeffrey that she is the ideal
candidate for the job. Ted is forced to employ numerous
money-making schemes when his ex-wife turns up at the camp with a
bailiff in tow and Yvonne and Barry Stuart-Hargreaves send the
rumour mill into overdrive when they overhear Gladys escorting
Jeffrey into his chalet late one evening. Hi-de-hi, campers!

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 these three hilarious

while Mum's Army is made available in a stage version for the first
time. 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 redoutable Captain Mainwaring and his effacing
deputy Sergeant Wilson. Also included in the volume is the Floral
Dance Sketch. The plays may be presented together as an evening's
entertainment or separately.

Arthur Lowe, John Le Mesurier, Clive Dunn and Ian Lavender star in
a collection of rediscovered Dad's Army gems. Published for the
first time, these four instalments of Dad's Army have been brought
together from a variety of archive sources, and in each case
represent something unique. 'A Stripe for Frazer' is the surviving
TV soundtrack from an episode whose film recording has long been
missing in action; 'Santa on Patrol' and 'The Cornish Floral Dance'
are two mini-episodes produced in 1968 and 1970 for BBC TV's
Christmas Night With the Stars; finally, 'The Boy Who Saved
England' is a mini-episode written by Jimmy Perry and starring Ian
Lavender, recorded as part of BBC Radio 2's Last Night at the Paris
programme in 1995. With a supporting cast including Arnold Ridley,
John Laurie, James Beck, Bill Pertwee and Frank Williams, this is a
fine quartet of episodes you're not likely to have seen or heard
before. Don't panic! Duration: 1 hour approx.
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.
