Summary
Twenty episodes from the first BBC Radio series plus an hour-long Christmas special, starring Arthur Lowe, John Le Mesurier, and Clive Dunn.
In 1973 the BBC adapted its hit TV series for radio, featuring the original TV cast and characters. Three series were broadcast between 1974 and 1976, with episodes adapted from their TV counterparts by Harold Snoad and Michael Knowles.
Now you can enjoy once again these unique recordings, with a supporting cast including John Laurie, James Beck, Arnold Ridley, and Ian Lavender. Among the 21 episodes are "The Man and the Hour", "The Battle of Godfrey’s Cottage", "Sgt Wilson’s Little Secret", "Something Nasty in the Vault", "The Menace from the Deep", and "No Spring for Frazer."

Dads Army
What did you like most about Dad's Army?
after watching the tv series for many years, starting with my grandad when i was an awful lot younger, this series feels like it has been a part of my life for ever, it never lets you down and you almost feel as if you know the characters as old friends
What other book might you compare Dad's Army to, and why?
there is nothing else to compare to dads army
Which character – as performed by Arthur Lowe and Full Cast – was your favourite?
i have liked all of the characters involved throughout and have had various favourites depending upon their story line, possibly my all time favourite though is cpl jones

A Comedy Classic
Simply put Dad's Army is and will always remain a masterpiece of comedy and this audiobook does nothing but continue that trend. With the same outstanding cast that was seen on the screens this will keep you laughing from beginning to end and is an audio that you will listen to again and again and again!

Unsurprisingly Wonderful!
Apart from being superb value for credit, as it were, where sheer amount of content is concerned the real selling point here are the wonderful, charming, comic scripts adapted from their televisual counterparts. While it is a shame that the original Pvt. Walker wasn't able to take part the rest of the cast are all present and correct with each member of the troupe proving their chops as radio actors (even if Clive Dunn does mug for the microphone more often than he should).
Very funny, and a very worthy title.

Dads Army (radio version of television episodes) series one. Audible.
Absolutely hilarious, some bits are slightly different from the TV episodes, such as, for some of it Private Walker is not players by James Beck who portrayed Private Walker in the TV series until his untimely death, but this in NO WAY detracts from how good this is, it is well worth purchasing this for the nostalgia alone with the hilarious comedy as a bonus. I have no hesitation in giving it 5 stars and would give it 100 stars if it were possible. VERY highly recommended.

'Complete Radio Series'?
Bit disingenuous to have 'Complete Radio Series' in big letters then 'part 1' much smaller on the cover. That aside, it is what you would expect from a high quality TV series adaptation.

Typical BBC
Great show, wonderful performances. Ruined by BBC overdubbing laughter and applause too loudly, as usual.
