Present Arms
The first episode of the second BBC Radio 4 series of the British comedy series Dad s Army that was originally transmitted on 24 December 1974, as a Christmas Special. Present Arms was compiled for radio from two television episodes, Battle of the Giants and Shooting Pains and ran for an unusual 60 minutes, twice the length of a normal radio episode.
As the season of goodwill approaches, Captain Mainwaring and his men use their rifles and their wits in a no-holds-barred contest with Captain Square and the Eastgate Platoon. The prize is the honour of guarding a very important person. But in the end it is the ingenuity of Private Walker which saves the day.
Episodes is spread across 2 discs which are single sided recordings
About BBC Transcription Services.
BBC Transcription Services discs were only made available to overseas radio stations for broadcast purposes and were not made available for sale to the general public. However, in the early 90s many international BBC libraries sold their stock to the public.
Typically BBC Transcription Services pressed 100 copies of each disc only with instructions to the overseas radio network to destroy the disc at the end of the licence period.
