Default Dads Army Episode
Was there an episode where the platoon set off to pick up a downed airman in the channel and fetched up in France with the closing shot of the principle characters in a train compartment being joined by German officers?
If not then there should have been.

Recall them going out to sea in a boat and thinking they'd crossed the Channel on hearing a Polish aircrew celebrating when they come ashore. Then they hid in a train carriage and discover they've been in England all the time.

I had the same thoughts as DB7 when I read the post.

As I seem to spend my days either in front of a computer (at work) or behind a steering wheel (spare time/increasingly due to work), I'm getting less and less chance to look at a TV screen nowadays. I do however, when I get sick of Radio 2 (rather a lot lately), almost always have assorted radio episodes of Hancock, Steptoe & Son and Dad's Army blaring away in the background.

It's not so long since I listened to the BBC radio adaptation of the Dad's Army episode 'Sons of The Sea'. It brought back very vivid memories of the TV version (the drunken singers were French-Canadians in the radio adaptation) and reminded me just how good radio shows can be.

Sorry, this clearly isn't of any help in the least, it's just that that 'Sons of The Sea' is one of my Dad's Army favourites.

Smile Sons of the sea.
It has Arthur Lowe delivering the classic line at Eastbourne station, to a chap in a bowler hat. Mainwaring thinks he's in France.

'Ou est la gare' he says.

'La Gare est Eastbourne' replies the gent.

Classic writing, classic delivery!

However, I can't get this site to deliver the line, John Laurie-style!
