This story, the one about the ruby in the temple in the South Seas, the one about the slithering thing in the lighthouse, and the lighthouse keepers who were stranded when the stairs collapsed are my favourite Fraser stories.
Probably the best comedy l have ever seen, loved this show, great tv, where have these shows gone, could watch over and over,( Dads Army, Hogan's heroes , It ain't half hot Mum, etc
Jones dangling on the windmill, and then flying off it in the form of a floppy legged dummy. I almost felt like I was watching an episode of the Goodies.

In the radio version when Fraser said "aye mon I did nay hesitate I dived down into the depths and I plunged my knife between those two hideous eyes "! Jones says "I don't think Stuart liked that very much" ! Fraser says " I meant the squids eyes ye silly old duffer"
"All in the Family", was the Americanised version of a British TV sitcom called, "Till Death Do Us Part". Norman Lear bought the rights to the show, then converted the script for an American audience.
The soldier behind Captain Square is like a Dead End because of the Director and Producers, poor stuff BBC. He should’ve atleast been drinking a beer 🍺
I am an ardent wargamer and actually play with Warlord's 28mm "Dad's Army" - strengthened by Foundry Home Guard figures (including Captain Square) on the tabletop. And yes, I do own sheep with helmets!
you may laugh but i know of only one man that tried to shoot down a 109 with a rifle ..we lived close to the beach on the south coast , right up to the end of the war , German aces flew across the channel and shot up the streets , my father was in the home guard , one night a fighter went up and down our street , shooting , my father fired all his bullets ....allowed ..and ..my mother said, used language she had never heard before ...yes my father was a carpenter ...like Jesus ...that was the only thing they had in common but he built planes out of wood like the MOSQUITO AND THE D DAY GLIDER . He always laughed when people said the gliders all crashed and broke in half....the troops had to get out fast so they used explosive bolts that blew the fuselage apart ..true.
I thought Wison would have remembered the name of the play, 'Macbeth' but then I remembered that theatrical people consider it an unlucky play, think it is bad luck even to utter its name. So John Lemesurier, being an actor would not have wanted to say 'Macbeth'.
@@allanmollison6971 I think he had illusions of being a colonel but he was captain Square according to the dads army fandom site. He kept on referring to Manwaring as a pretend soldier
In other sites that have Dad's Army on them, the watchers say how great James Beck ( prvt Walker) was on the programme and how said programme went downhill when he passed away. Dont think so on both accounts.....now waiting for the backlash, lol
John Laurie always completely steals the scene whenever he tells one of Mr Fraser’s tales from his adventurous youth!
This story, the one about the ruby in the temple in the South Seas, the one about the slithering thing in the lighthouse, and the lighthouse keepers who were stranded when the stairs collapsed are my favourite Fraser stories.
''So.....we take it you have a diving suit, Fraser" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
One of the funniest series ever produced. I never tire of seeing this show!
Probably the best comedy l have ever seen, loved this show, great tv, where have these shows gone, could watch over and over,( Dads Army, Hogan's heroes , It ain't half hot Mum, etc
I like how the colonel alternates between being a colonel, a sergeant, and a captain depending on the episode.
Yeah, what's that all about?

George,
Bedankt-great fun with Dad's Army!
😂Noone could tell a tall tale like Frazer!!Except maybe Walker!!😅❤
The best comedy ever.
I can't have enough of them.
Jones dangling on the windmill, and then flying off it in the form of a floppy legged dummy. I almost felt like I was watching an episode of the Goodies.
What are the Goodies??
Brilliant show! Wonderful actors! Great scripts! So many great memories!
What a wonderful time we had as younger people and got to enjoy this great comedy
thank you so much TH-cam for screening this lovely memories. Humor without swearing!
Annette Kleynhans bb
I swear it's funny!
Jones flying through the air at the end was priceless!
Jonesy to Walker: I'm tying a knot so put your finger on it.
Jonesy: NOT there!!🤣
Aw this is brilliant watching from Spain 2024 ❤❤❤❤
Brilliantly funny. I could watch D.A. over and over again and would still be laughing, brilliant comedy!
I do watch them over and over again they are timeless British classics and this episode is one of my absolute favourites

In the radio version when Fraser said "aye mon I did nay hesitate I dived down into the depths and I plunged my knife between those two hideous eyes "! Jones says "I don't think Stuart liked that very much" !
Fraser says " I meant the squids eyes ye silly old duffer"
😂😂British comedies are the absolute BEST!!❤❤
It's simply brilliant humor!
together with "All in the Family" my all time favourite comedy. Thank you so much George for all your work!
There is more. The Cast of these series are ALL past away! Are You Being Served? th-cam.com/video/B01eXTWLXZQ/w-d-xo.html

@@mombaassa I will have to check that one. I will probably like it better than the US one.
One of my favourite episodes
Funny because every episode is someone's "favourite" episode...
Never surpassed... uplifting, true , historically accurate ... 100'/,
The vicar doesn't question a telephone in a vase!
"Perhaps he's watchting his drink."
i love to share these legends ofcourse!

Don’t panic and then getting flung into the river 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Capt. Square reminds me of Commander McBragg . Love it.
Note to self, watched 1/16/18.
I first watched this series in the 60's
I loved Capt Mainwaring's bag.
Jones went Dutch. Daft as a drunk chicken. Loved it.
Gurgle gurgle, gurgle gurgle!
I now realise that i started liking the scot accent because of Frazer. Being dutch, thats the first time i heard scottish i guess. What a character ;]
Gebruik je daarvoor een stuifstoffer?
@@johanbruijnooge6818 hehe
English humour has no parallel. Brilliant
Robert Raglan sure got promoted a lot in Dads Army.. Sargent, Captain and finally Colonel.
kenneth czajkowski Not to mention Captain Rodriquez in the Battle Training episode. Later, he was a Colonel in the American Army.
Very ingenious idea
I am an ardent wargamer and actually play with Warlord's 28mm "Dad's Army" - strengthened by Foundry Home Guard figures (including Captain Square) on the tabletop. And yes, I do own sheep with helmets!
fascinating
I think this has to be the most times I’ve heard Mainwaring say “stupid boy” to Pike. I counted I think 4 times he said it 🤣🤣🤣🤣
best of all the d/a
you may laugh but i know of only one man that tried to shoot down a 109 with a rifle ..we lived close to the beach on the south coast , right up to the end of the war , German aces flew across the channel and shot up the streets , my father was in the home guard , one night a fighter went up and down our street , shooting , my father fired all his bullets ....allowed ..and ..my mother said, used language she had never heard before ...yes my father was a carpenter ...like Jesus ...that was the only thing they had in common but he built planes out of wood like the MOSQUITO AND THE D DAY GLIDER .

Very good work
16:20 OMG I cry with laughter every time! 🤣🤣🤣
Seen all the series in the late 60s-70s in England now seen in Italy laugh then laughing now Lovely memories "Don't panic-Stupid boy"
When I saw the sheep with the helmets I lost it.
nog steeds leuk 😂
"I've only got two pairs of legs"
loved it
I love Jock's tales! Who'a Scot!
Captain Square, Godzilla could sneak up on you and you wouldn’t notice.
Good one!
Lovely fun

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
Hot potato, Orchestra stalls, Puck will make amends!
Ow!
@@Lepper36 Is that what they said? I could never quite work it out. Loved how Black Adder tortured the actors!
It's bad luck to say the name and to refer to it as "The Scottish Play. "
Yes, they call it "the Scottish play."
It's television... not Shakespeare, try not to over think these things..
I just wanted to scratch my nose. Hilarious 🤣
Aw gosh ime in stitches 🤣
put your finger on it NOT THERE! 😂😂
I believe the third pint belongs to the troop behind Square. Looks like he's always about to reach for it.
Hey Verger it’s about time to tell off the vicar , Mainwaring, and Captain Square and the rest.
this is Series 4 , Episode 2------------gurgle gurgle !
you can see Don Estelle lofty from it aint half hot mum at 18:10
Battery Sgt Major Williams “SHUUUUUUUUTT UUUUUUUUUUPP!!!”
Goid ole, Gunner Sugden.
Captain Square you’re platoon must be blind if they couldn’t see Jones coming from a mile away
That was the idea of the diversions
Absolutely ridiculous and hilarious.
We wer diving for perrils :'D
Funny thing is that the actor who impersonated the oldest guy, was actually the youngest.
Gurgle gurgle.. 🤣🤣🤣
Captain Square’s second in command certainly had a rapid promotion through the army ranks. Didn’t he play a more senior officer in later episodes?
Wasn't he the Colonel.
@@allanmollison6971 I think he had illusions of being a colonel but he was captain Square according to the dads army fandom site. He kept on referring to Manwaring as a pretend soldier
“Those two,,Hideous eyes!”
13:41 apparently Jones has 4 legs in total lol
How did Jones fall upwards from a windmill before falling down in the river?
Gravity was different back then.

...you won't get a backlash, at least from me...I never paid attention to him //-))
They replaced him with some Welsh guy called Cheeseman but wasn't as funny, you really couldn't replace walker.
I never missed his character. But his fan boys like to shout about it a lot 🤦♂️
@@sovietonion72 oh yeh, i'd rather have walker than cheeseman

So funny. Better than the crap today that is not funny
The writers should have
Involved Captain Square’s
Corporal in the
Bar Sean Not just Use
Him as a Gap Filler.
Bar Sean? 🤣🤣 and you constantly complain about writers mistakes on Dad's Army 🤣🤡🤡🤡
Odd hwo that Eastgate Seargent got promoted to General later
Does the ‘Mannering/Mainwaring’ joke translate?
Why the Netherlands subtitles?
Because people from the Netherlands like to watch it 🤷♂️🤦♂️
Is that the same Benny Hill show tree?!
Wison should have remembered that the play was 'Macbeth'
It is bad luck for an actor to say the name of the play Macbeth. John LeMessurier would have thought of this I expect.
@@annettewalter2273 ha ha ha ha.. don't be ridiculous, people on television aren't actors...
Lol
Weird., now the na---is are our friends.
This is all so funny. If Hitler had pushed through to the isle of England, he would have taken London in a week at most. But he didn't.
That had something to do with the R.A.F
And that the Germans had a crap Navy.
