The Very Best of Dad's Army, Vol 2 is a further helping of episodes from the BBC's most durable comedy, well chosen to illustrate the variety of situations and predicaments in which Walmington-on-Sea's home guard find themselves.
"Menace from the Deep" sees them marooned on the town pier, having to contend with a rogue mine and an inebriated Hodges.
"Mum's Army" has Captain Mainwaring set up a women's division and promptly fall for the charming Miss Gray, in a cunning take on Brief Encounter.
"No Spring for Frazer" charts Frazer's beleaguered attempts to locate a missing gun part with predictably disastrous results.
"When Did You Last See Your Money?" similarly puts Corporal Jones through the mill after he switches a package containing £500 with one containing a half-pound of sausages. Finally,
"The Honourable Man" brings the enmity of Mainwaring and Sergeant Wilson to a head when the latter inherits an honorary title.
