List of Dad's Army episodes


Dad's Army is a British sitcom about the Home Guard during the Second World War, produced by David Croft, and written by David Croft and Jimmy Perry. Set in the fictional seaside town of Walmington-on-Sea, located near Eastbourne, it follows a well-meaning platoon of men ineligible for active service as they serve as Britain's "last line of defence". The series was broadcast on BBC One from 15 April 1968 to 13 November 1977, a total of eighty episodes spread over nine series and including three Christmas specials. Four short Christmas sketches were also broadcast as part of Christmas Night with the Stars. The first two series were broadcast in black and white, and the other series were broadcast in colour. Episodes ran for thirty minutes each, with some exceptions: the 1971 special ran for sixty minutes, the 1975 special ran for forty minutes and an episode of series 9 ran for thirty-five minutes.

Five episodes of series 2 were lost from the BBC Archives. Two episodes, "Operation Kilt" and "The Battle of Godfrey's Cottage", were found in 2001; the other three episodes remain lost. An audio recording of "A Stripe for Frazer", one of the three missing episodes, was discovered in 2008 and an animated version of it was released in February 2016. An episode of series 3, "Room at the Bottom", was broadcast in color but only a black and white copy survives in the archives. The episode was restored in 2008 using colour recovery.
