No Spring for Frazer
Sons of the Sea
Brain Versus Brawn
Absent Friends

From the annals of wartime Britain come four brilliantly funny episodes with Captain Mainwaring's fully trained Home Guard platoon, ever ready to strike terror into the heart of the Wehrmacht from their unit in Walmington-on-Sea. Always prepared to fight to the finish, this endearing team of characters are at their incompetent best in these wonderfully entertaining adventures specially adapted for radio.

So... join the platoon in their grisly pursuit of a very important coffin, quake as they patrol the river in dense fog under the dubious navigation of Captain Mainwaring, observer as they engage in an exercise to select an elite commando group, and enjoy a brief spell of relaxation when Sergeant Wilson takes charge in Mainwaring's absence.
