1940. France has fallen and Germany is poised to invade England. In towns all across Britain volunteer Army units form from local, generally older, townsfolk. This volunteer force would be the Home Guard. We follow the adventures and misadventures of such a unit in the small south coast town of Walmington-on-Sea.

- Richard2025年10月18日I saw it on TV, loved it for its charm, tt was British wartime comedy at its finest, with a cast of lovable eccentrics defending England from invasion with clipboards, tea and mild confusion. Set in Walmington on Sea during WWII, it followed the Home Guard, a volunteer force of mostly older men too old or unfit for regular service. Captain Mainwaring led the charge with pomp and pride, backed by Sergeant Wilson’s dry wit and Lance Corporal Jones’s panicked catchphrases. The humor was gentle, character driven and unmistakably British.
- ርልዪረ2025年6月14日Who do you think you are fooling Mister Hitler? As I read through the comments, I was not surprised at how many were British but at how few were American. I was surprised at one comment that, while rating the show very high, also commented that the humor was not "laugh out loud" humor. I found this show to be hilarious! Jimmy Kroft and Mathew Perry were pure geniuses. Writing and working with so many hilarious episodes was a feat in itself. But coming up with such equally hilarious titles like "Be Young and Beautiful", "Knights of Madness" and "The King is in his Counting House" was pure genius, plain and simple. Two of the funniest episodes are "Keep Young and Beautiful" and "My British Buddy". In "Be Young and Beautiful", the home guard, to look their best before the inspectors, used make-up. The results were hilarious. In "My British Buddy", the Americans arrive to join the Allies and it's a big event, so journalists and photographers show up to report the event, which doesn't quite turn out the way it was intended. The humor is clearly British. And unlike classic British sitcoms like "In Sickness and in Health" and "Man About the House" which were recycled, given the American treatment and released as "All in the Family" and "Three's Company", there is no American equivalent to "Dad's Army". This show stands alone in more ways than one. Though it would be downright criminal to classify this show along with "Monty Python" just because both happen to be British comedies, the two programs (note the American spelling!) have one thing in common. Either you'll love this show, or you won't. (I, for one, love this program, which has left me laughing out loud.) This show could never be classified as merely "OK"
