Dad’s Army 1×1 – The Man and the Hour
Dad's Army
After listening to a radio broadcast asking for men to form what was to become known as the Home Guard, George Mainwaring, a local bank manager, decides to act and form the platoon of his own accord.
He appoints himself as Captain and recruits his chief bank clerk Arthur Wilson as the platoon sergeant as well as enlisting the bank’s office boy Frank Pike. Several of the local tradesmen – including James Frazer, a philatelist shopkeeper; retired shop worker Charles Godfrey; Jack Jones the butcher and black market businessman Joe Walker – also volunteer their service for ‘King and Country.’ And so, The Walmington-on-Sea Home Guard was born.
