Dad's Army is still one of the finest sit-coms the BBC has ever produced. The more you see it, the better it gets. The writing is in turns slapstick and sensitive, and the performers are some of the best that we've ever had. Arthur Lowe was one of the best cast actors in television history. It's impossible to imagine anyone else in the role of the pompous but honourable Captain Mainwaring. The touches of character, the deft physical comedy, the brilliant but understated class warfare between him and Sergeant Wilson all make for a wonderful half hour. However - why is there always a 'however' with BBC CD releases? - someone somewhere decided it would be a good idea to put the shows through digital noise reduction. Utterly pointless. The master tapes are perfectly fine, recorded in the mid 1970s, they have only a slight tape hiss, but are otherwise perfect. The noise reduction makes some of the shows almost unbearable to listen to. The top end (treble) has been tightened and reduced, and there are tinkly digital artefacts that intrude on the sound. Some shows are worse than others. There are also edits, for some misplaced political correctness I suspect. Shame. These would have been fantastic sets otherwise. The DVD set of the complete TV series is, by comparison, exemplary. If you can put up with the reduced sound quality, then this set will be highly enjoyable. The shows are still there, and the humour intact.

These has been censored for the PC Madness AGE. Disgracefully so because this is an ARCHIVE recording and should be a TRUTHFUL RECORD. It isn't. For example, listen to the 'eeny Meeny Miny Mo' in episode 16. Nothing here is caught by the toe. The cassettes released the following year are not censored.

Seriously. How can this be sold for this price? It is ridiculous! No wonder people look for illegal downloads. These are funny but not for that money.
