About this listen

Here are 26 episodes from the third BBC Radio series starring Arthur Lowe, John Le Mesurier, and Clive Dunn, plus the pilot episode of It Sticks Out Half a Mile.

In 1973, the BBC adapted its hit wartime TV series for radio, featuring the original television cast and characters. Three series were broadcast between 1974 and 1976, with episodes adapted by Harold Snoad and Michael Knowles.

Now you can enjoy once again these unique recordings, with a supporting cast including John Laurie, Arnold Ridley and Ian Lavender.

Among the 26 episodes are "A Man of Action", "Keep Young and Beautiful", "Absent Friends", "The Deadly Attachment", "Things That Go Bump in the Night", "My British Buddy", "Asleep in the Deep", "Time on My Hands" and "Is There Honey Still for Tea"?

Also included is the 1981 pilot episode of the radio sequel to Dad's Army, It Sticks Out Half a Mile, starring Arthur Lowe and John Le Mesurier.

Forever funny

Would you consider the audio edition of Dad's Army: Complete Radio Series 3 to be better than the print version?

This edition is a great add on to the Dad's Army army. It allowed me to have many of my favourite episodes with me on the move.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Dad's Army: Complete Radio Series 3?

The two original audio epsiodes 'A jumbo sized problem' and 'Ten seconds from now' are particular standouts. They are both well performed, and leave wishing that they had been filmed for the regular series.

Which scene did you most enjoy?

All of it was a joy to listen to. There were no lulls and the inclusion of the first episode of 'It sticks out half a mile' was a treat too.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes.

Any additional comments?

Well worth the money, and time invested into listening.

A war with laughs

A wonderfully old fashioned type of comedy which we don’t see or hear today. Looking forward to the next series.

Brings back happy memories - but…

I wish they used the title of each episode as the chapter title. It would make life easier!

As good as I remember

Simple love the timeless comedy of this great group of actors as they bravely struggle to be in place to defend England from the Nazi threat.

Brilliant, Classic yet timeless humour. 5 Stars.

I love Dad's Army. The writing of Perry/Croft is.top notch as are the actors. Each character has their own punchlines and you can say there's no individual star (although Arthur Lowe is my favourite).
The Screenplay is adapted for Radio very well and you can picture the characters in your mind's eye.
I would recommend this to anyone. It's well scripted, funny, not vulgar and harks back to a simpler era.
5 Stars🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

A Must have for any Dad's Army fan

There isn't too much to say about this. My only gripe being the chapters list do not list the episode names. Other than that, i completely love it
