there nothing leave undone about this perry and croft masterpiece as good a any of the best episode and thankfully it be still film in time before the late james beck sadly pass away to be include in it to show his talent . it show right from the start and how the platoon be form from the state of national emergency and show the boy a inept under captain mainwaring ( arthur lowe ) and sergeant wilson ( john le mesurier ) a they usually be through the series . along the way and mainwaring do his usual longing to show authority but the chap can not help but let him down at every turn and during wargames and suspect an invasion . they have a chance in the film though to redeem themselves when they actually capture the nazi airman who take the church congregation hostage . that be a nice finale especially a mainwaring have be able to prove himself to the general and be give one last chance to shape up . a great film and plenty of good line and laugh and it another one for the dvd cupboard i be glad the bbc be repeat it and on this day 2 . 8 . 08 they deservedly have dad army night . not to be miss .
