Dad's Army

The Big Parade

Season 4    Episode 1
September 25, 1970    30m    TV-PG
Mainwaring watches a film reel at the cinema which shows Winston Churchill inspecting Army troops and their mascot - a ram, of course where Mainwaring's concerned - if another platoon has a mascot, so must his. Sponge volunteers one from his farm but they have to catch it first, something that of course ends in complete disaster with Pike up to his neck in it - literally.

Meanwhile the town parade is being organised and of course Mainwaring wants the platoon to lead, but Hodges has other ideas...
