Dad's Army is Britain's favourite sitcom but three of the original 80 episodes have been lost. Now, using the original scripts by Jimmy Perry and David Croft, those three episodes have been recreated as faithfully as possible and come to the screen for the first time since 1969.
TV Show Ended.
S1E1 - The Loneliness of the Long Distance Walker
Private Walker, source of the platoon's supplies of whisky, cigarettes and other essential black-market goods, is called up to serve in the regular Army, so Mainwaring decides to use all his standing as an officer and a bank manager to have him excused from military service. Meanwhile, Jones and the others try to ensure that Walker fails his medical.

S1E2 - A Stripe for Frazer
When he's told he can make a member of the platoon a corporal, Mainwaring instigates a competition between Frazer and Jones to see who deserves the promotion. Both do their best to impress him, particularly during a demonstration on how to face down a Nazi stormtrooper, but things go awry when a power-crazed Frazer charges the other men with court-martial offences.

S1E3 - Under Fire
Tipped off by Frazer and Godfrey, Mainwaring and Wilson investigate a house from where they believe someone may have been signalling to enemy aircraft. They take the suspect back to the church hall, but chaos ensues when an incendiary bomb comes through the roof and the platoon desperately battles the blaze.
