There's something strangely natural about how many 'bloopers' there are, such as when James Beck as Walker accidentally knocks the phone off its hook and Mainwaring, in character, snappily replaces it....I love all the little mistakes that make it more realistic somehow.
Fun fact; The creator of this show gives credit for its longevity, and popularity, to the overall accurate portrayal of the British Home guard during WWII.
Our local bushfire brigade was derided by some locals (and members) as "Dad's Army" so occasionly I'd roll up to training singing "who do you think you are kidding Mr. Hitler?". Another member took off Jones with "Reporting for duty Captain Mannering sir" and give a salute. We accepted the title with great pride.
At 17:36 Mannering addresses Jones as 'Walker'. There are slips like this in every episode. They must have been under constant time pressure when filming - minimal rehearsals and no second takes.
also, mainwearing was known for forgetting lines all the time lol. there is an episode where he is on the phone clearly reading lines written on his handXD
Ha, I noticed the actor playing Walker accidentally pushing the phone with his hand and Arthur Lowe putting it back without people in the audience noticing much.
this is one of my favorite episodes of dad's army. the German parachutist Robert Aldous also played in the dad's army sketch resisting the aggressor down the ages.
Nope, they were all different actors. Only the occasional guest roles may have been filled in by same actors but can't remember who and when. The short guy with the great singing voice did do a guest role in Dad's Army as the deliverer of the anti tank cannon.
Downstairs Upstair's and Allo Allo is also very good. Cherlock Holmes with Jeremy Brett (the best Sherlock Holmes there ever was ,nr.2 was Basil Rathbone and they are all on TH-cam in playlists.(channel: Ser Severus or Pizza Flix)And then for the best english series= Hercule Poirot.(also on youtube(all of them in a playlist) Channel: Brit Tv
The domestic abuse joke was very awkward. Other than that a brilliant episode as usual. 21:15 This reminds me of a case of a Polish pilot flying for England during the Battle of Britain. He parachuted down and locals mistook him for a German. Told him hände hoch. He replied "fuck you" and they cheerfully realized he was one of theirs. I love how upset the German pilot is for not being able for surrender. Just plain rude not to take him prisoner. LOL

Truth be told, the German paratrooper landing at Crete was a disaster. A lot of German Fallschirmjager died because they didn't land with their rifles.

Tbh in history, one of the first Allied RAF pilots killed in WW2 action was shot in the air by British soldiers! Was a Hurricane fighter pilot who'd bailed out over Dover.. a group of Brit' soldiers saw him floating down, opened up and killed him! Sorted BS lame imo.. even if he was the enemy. .. which he wasn't, his fight was done... over your own land and in that situation live and let live I say.
Wow ! Some fairly deep comments in here... I came here to see if anyone else thought the. Parachute was white, or maybe it didn't get the correct shade put on when they made it into color from black and white. Anyway I know it doesn't sound like a proper thing to do,shooting a man as he floated down ,but why if your family or friends were in the field or building where the parachute was going to land and you didn't shoot, then the guy takes all their lives...then what?
The Geneva Convention makes a clear difference between aircraft crew bailing out to save their lives and assault troops who choose to attack through the air, coming down hanging on parachutes. The first type you're not allowed to shoot, that's a warcrime. The second type are fair game. There are numerous records of Allied soldiers (the Dutch and Belgian infantry at the start of the war in the west), who, after recovering from their surprise that so many men were coming down by parachute, dilligently went to work trying to shoot these German Fallschirmjäger. German infantry did the same when confronted by Allied paratroopers, which was the correct thing. You see enemy troops approaching, you try to kill them. Doesn't matter if they're approaching you on foot or by parachute.
How did Walker manage to make 8 dozen pairs of 1940's underwear from 1 parachute? He'd be hard pushed to get more than a couple of dozen of modern ones!
Could some one check out these awfull copies of the series of Dads Army because their doing a terrible job of making them and spoiling the series these series should be treated with respect so many people love this series for some lowlife to mangle them up making a mess of them with heads missing poor quality content and not doing them any justice they should be reported and ban them or stop them somehow from making more of them i dont know what country their from but this person has a complecated foreign name please someone chase it up i dont know how to go about it otherwise i’d do it myself iam 82 and not computer wise i will ask my children though !!!! Thanks so much just because they want money they have no right to buggar up a precious series like these George 10/10 th maybe you can do something about it thankyou so much !!!!

One of the best comedy’s ever made! Even today still brilliant. Great actors, Great characters! Fun for the whole family!

A great comedy. Stands the test of time.

15:09 .. actually all shits and giggles aside, what Jones says is totally correct!! O_O
TheFunkhouser yes it’s called “shooting and scooting”, also “firing and maneuvering”
Fire and movement down crawl observe fire
What, that his left arm is his right? Stupid boy...
😀😁😄...m.Is there ANYTHING that "Walker".....CAN'T get ahold of??? 😅🤣😂😉
Yes, his grandmother. Apparently there's no market for her.
At 21:09 that is Patrick Tull the great audio-book narrator.
Haha gold as always.
DR NO
OMG!
thanks
12:30 time stamp good old mike boom shadow photo bomb lol!
Hahaha you can see the shadow of the camera boom over the green door when Walker is talking to the little boy through the door.
Yes , I noticed that too
12:27 the shadow of the microphone is visible at the top lol
Mainwaring,Wilson and Walker sure would make a great trio of Detectives. On par with the Three Stooges.

It was a different time. The time when an angry wife would chase her husband with a rolling pin if he had been cheating on her.
The chute looked white to me, but I guess it's because of the film. Love this show.
Him saying German chutes weren’t white but that they were off-white (beige?) was a joke (insulting Germans soldiers as dirty/unclean) 😂

Her name is, Miranda Hampton.

The golden Oriol..(spelling ?), is not a bird that visits the UK..we do get it in summer, in Bulgaria. I could be wrong. Not important.
Yes, a plot mistake. A common European bird, famously rare in the UK.
the sexy lady (Miranda Hampton) looks similar to Elizabeth Short a.k.a. the black Dahlia. and this was in the same time period as her demise.

Black dahlia was murdered in 1949.......this is 1941 totally different.

We do not need foreign subtitles on the screen during the episodes.
Maybe you could benefit by becoming multilingual, in Dutch.
What's foreign to you is not to others.... Think about that before commenting 🤦🏻♂️
Sean stop typing. Just stop.
They're white lol 🤣
Mainwaring, I still don’t listen to you, Yada,Yada, Yada all BS.
This particular episode is quite unlike others of Dad's Army. I did not at all like it. The play-script is ludicrous and, offensive.
