Product Description

Product Description

Five episodes from the classic sitcom. In 'The Deadly Attachment' the platoon are given the task of guarding a captured U-boat crew. 'Keep Young and Beautiful' finds Captain Mainwaring's men engaged in some rejuvenating activity. 'Never Too Old' sees Jones indulge in some bizarre behaviour after falling in love. 'Asleep in the Deep' has the team get into trouble when a bomb lands on the local plumbing station. And 'Sons of the Sea' finds Captain Mainwaring excited about a new idea to have the men patrol the river.

From Amazon.co.uk

If the mark of a successful TV comedy is that repeat showings attract new viewers, then Dad's Army must be one of the best. The Very Best of Dad's Army includes five episodes almost covering its whole time span--from 1969's "Sons of the Sea", an entertaining caper when lost at home, to 1977's final episode "Never Too Old", in which sparky Corporal Jones marries his longtime sweetheart, and the ageing Second World War platoon drinks a toast to Britain's Home Guard. Along with these is 1973's "The Deadly Attachment", where a captive U-boat crew falls prey to dummy hand-grenades; 1972's "Keep Young and Beautiful", a touching tale of looking younger and sticking together; and the same year's "Asleep in the Deep", where the platoon uses its skill and judgement, plus a little luck, to escape a life-threatening situation. Fans and newcomers will enjoy the priceless interplay of Arthur Lowe and John le Mesurier, along with the contributions of Clive Dunn, John Laurie, Arnold Ridley, Ian Lavender and James Beck, in this nostalgic depiction of Britain as it once was.

On the DVD: The 4:3 picture reproduction has come up well and the dual mono sound is more than adequate. Each episode features six scene selections, while the artist profiles provide brief but relevant biographical details. The half-hour Selection Box gives celebrities past and present a chance to pick their favourite extracts and explain just why they're hooked. Chances are you will be too.--Richard Whitehouse

5.0 out of 5 starsClassic Comedy
By M. Dowden HALL OF FAMETOP 50 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on 11 Mar. 2012
This dvd contains five classic episodes of Dad's Army, plus a bonus piece, Selection Box, which contains clips from episodes. All the episodes, filmed between 1969-1973 are in colour, and they are:-

The Deadly Attachment

The day has come when the Home Guard have to take charge over a group of POWs, in this case a German U-Boat crew. A simple task you may think, but not with Captain Mainwaring in charge. This episode contains those immortal lines:

U-Boat Captain: Vot iss your name?

Captain Mainwaring: Don't tell him, Pike.

Keep Young and Beautiful

Personally, this is my favourite episode of all time. When information comes down from above that older members of the Home Guard could be transferred to the ARP, and all young ARP members transferred to the Home Guard, drastic steps have to be taken. Getting worried, the Guard decide to make themselves look that much younger and fitter.

Never Too Old

Jones' has done it, he has proposed to Mrs Fox. Will she accept and will they have a happy marriage?

Asleep In the Deep

A bomb has fallen on the pumping station, where Walker and Godfrey are trapped. Mainwaring leads a detachment to rescue them, but you just know that things will not be too easy.

Sons of the Sea

With Mainwaring able to get his hands on a large rowing boat there can be only one outcome. River boat patrols for the group, which could play havoc if the Nazis invade. Of course, even taking the boat out once for a training exercise proves too much for the crew.

Jimmy Perry and David Croft wrote here a sitcom that is timeless and brings a smile to everyone's face. Typically British this shows how the Germans would never be able to invade and hold this country, after all we are all nuts.

5.0 out of 5 starsA good selection of Dads army features.
By Robert Redgwell on 22 Oct. 2001
This is an excellent DVD for Dads army fans. Firstly, and most importantly the quality of the picture is high. Secondly they have chosen a good selection of episodes. I have two regrets: that they had to show the episode which showed John Le Mesurer (Wilson) after he had suffered a stroke and they did not include the episode on the cricket match which is a classic. However, hopefully this will be remedied in the future. Please re-issue more episodes on DVD.

5.0 out of 5 starsAn endearing, warm and charming classic
By kevinholloran@aol.com on 17 Mar. 2002
Dad's Army has always had a special place in my heart since being a small boy; each episode shone with a warm charm like a summers day in a quaint English village.The cast selection was excellent, which produced superb performances through out the many shows. The episode selection on the Best Of the Dad's Army dvd was disappointing, as i found some of the most memorable episodes missing, like the "St George & the Dragon episode", other than that Dad's Army will always be a comedy classic that will live on for many generations to come. It is wonderfully written and beautifully acted the show deservedly has my highest rating of 5 stars. Kevin&Judith

Comedy that stands the test of time. Bought for 83 year old friend for a bit of nostalgia but enjoyed equally by my teenage son! A good compilation.

4.0 out of 5 starsClassic Comedy
By Biff TOP 500 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on 27 Jan. 2015
Not as good has owning the complete series but still has a good selection of classic episodes.

Gentle comedy all the way in this nostalgic trip down memory lane.

Not to everyone's taste but those who grew up with will want to dip their toes back in the water.

Not always as funny as I remembered but then times have changed.

Only five episodes so not really very good value.

4.0 out of 5 starswell,it has the famous episode we all know
By Mr. Peter Howe on 20 April 2013
Verified Purchase
generally very good,although i feel that as a sampler,there could have been better choices than the 5 episodes here.It does have THAT famous "dont tell him,Pike" episode,and of course,the quality of the acting and the strength of each characters personality are of the ilk we will never see again on,certainly not on BBC television,Timeless and essential.

This is a fine collection,with very good picture quality and fairly decent sound quality.Some of the incidental music appears to have been changed for no obvious reason,but otherwise all is present,correct and wonderful fun.
