is a British sitcom about the Home Guard during World War II. The sitcom aired between 1968 and 1977, and there were a total of eighty episodes spread over nine series, as well as four Christmas specials. The first episode, The Man and the Hour, began with a scene set in the "present day" of 1968, in which Mainwaring addressed his old platoon as part of the contemporary I'm Backing Britain campaign. It was a flash-back to the founding of the Walmington-on-Sea Home Guard platoon by Mainwaring after he had heard Anthony Eden's 1940 radio broadcast. The final episode, Never Too Old, focused on the wedding of Corporal Jones and Mrs. Fox, which was interrupted as the platoon were put on full invasion alert. The first two series were made in black and white. There are three missing episodes from series two. Only film copies of the episodes from the first two series survive; the film copies of series one were made for overseas sale, but as this series did not sell well the attempt was not repeated with series two. The three filmed episodes of the latter which exist do so because two were film recorded to show Columbia Pictures executives, who were interested in making a feature film based on the show, and another which needed to be edited in post-production. Dates shown are original air dates on BBC One. Recording dates are for the studio recordings; but many episodes include extensive footage filmed on location the previous summer. ==Series 1 (1968)== |- |004 | ''The Enemy Within the Gates'' | 6 May 1968 | 28 August 1968 | A lecture by Mainwaring is interrupted when a Polish officer from GHQ announces that a reward of £10 will be available for any Nazis captured.
