Dad's Army

- Season 9

(1977)

Mainwaring's men dress up as fifth columnists in an attempt to remedy the apathy displayed by the population.

Captain Mainwaring's reservations to accept the 'non-combatant' role of umpire in maneuver exercises (as deputy for the Home Guard colonel) quickly disappear when he learns the job comes with a non-assigned staff car. His platoon might be allowed to keep this car, but he makes the mistake of bragging in advance it would be some sort of limousine, so the less grand model gets him generally laughed at. Next Jones' remarks about military car seating etiquette starts an unmusical dance of chairs in it. Pike's eagerness to be allowed in it as runner and general boyish ...

The old rivalry between Mainwaring and Hodges resurfaces as they both organise displays for the local "Wings for Victory" pageant.

Captain Mainwaring tries to persuade Frazer to deposit his hoard of gold sovereigns in the bank.

The platoon are tasked with guarding a vital telephone line. Predictably mishaps ensue.

Corporal Jones marries Mrs Fox in this, the final episode, whilst the platoon are ever watchful in case of invasion.
