The King was in his Counting House
The Godiva Affair
The Deadly Attachment
My British Buddy

From the annals of wartime Britain come four brilliantly funny episodes with Captain Mainwaring's fully trained Home Guard platoon, ever ready to strike terror into the heart of the Wehrmacht from their unit in Walmington-on-Sea. Always prepared to fight to the finish, this endearing team of characters are at their incompetent best in these wonderfully entertaining adventures specially adapted for radio.

So... Watch out as the platoon try to rescue money when a bomb falls on a bank, a re-creation of Lady Godiva's ride takes place, the platoon guards some German prisoners of war and a group of American soldiers are invited to watch a darts match.
