Summary

Twenty episodes from the first BBC Radio series plus an hour-long Christmas special, starring Arthur Lowe, John Le Mesurier, and Clive Dunn.

In 1973 the BBC adapted its hit TV series for radio, featuring the original TV cast and characters. Three series were broadcast between 1974 and 1976, with episodes adapted from their TV counterparts by Harold Snoad and Michael Knowles.

Now you can enjoy once again these unique recordings, with a supporting cast including John Laurie, James Beck, Arnold Ridley, and Ian Lavender. Among the 21 episodes are "The Man and the Hour", "The Battle of Godfrey’s Cottage", "Sgt Wilson’s Little Secret", "Something Nasty in the Vault", "The Menace from the Deep", and "No Spring for Frazer."

Dad's Army radio shows season 1

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Definitely. Beautifully written, classic comedy at its best. No swearing or coarseness.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Dad's Army?

The rifles arriving in Show 3.

Have you listened to any of Arthur Lowe and Full Cast ’s other performances? How does this one compare?

They're all BRILL!

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

The show made me laugh a lot.

Any additional comments?

Classic comedy

Dads Army is a classic comedy which I have listened and watched many a time. Listening to the radio show up there with watching it . Knowing the characters makes it a little bit difficult with the actors who played the part of Walker ,who passed away before the tv series finished, but they do a good job under the circumstances.Would recommend to anyone who loves comedy, especially classic.

Great

A really great listen, i will be downloading more very soon. only criticism would be that it would be nice to have episode names rather than just numbers.

Dad's Army

I got the whole series for 7.99, not bad really. Interesting that the original title was Fighting Tigers and that one of the writers wrote the part of Walker for himself.
