DAD'S ARMY The Very Best Episodes, Volume 1

Comedian and “Dad's Army” fan Phill Jupitus chose four of the most iconic episodes of the radio serial for this collection. The four episodes are great examples of the charm and hilarity that have made this series an indelible part of British culture. Each one is a winner—from the genesis episode, in which a band of scraggly volunteers organizes to resist the Nazis, to a story in which a German paratrooper crash lands on the town hall clock. Writing, production, and acting are taut and expert, with beautifully understated, fast-paced dialogue and an unforgettable cast of characters. This radio collection is a treasure for “Dad's Army” fans and should enchant a new generation of listeners. F.G.
