Dad's Army: Shooting Pains (1968)
Season 1, Episode 6
8/10
A very fine round off to Series one.

Winston Churchill is due to visit the area, The Platoon are chosen as Guard on honour, until Major Regan sees them shooting, he is back, giving shooting instruction, and he suggests The Eastgate Platoon take the honour, a competition between the two is set, the winner to take the honour.

The humour has been quite different in the early years, a few cusses, and a slightly more grown up tone. Any show worth it's fee featured Barbara Windsor, and The Carry on Star, she's great as the crack shot. Pike is also so much better early on.

There is a surreal moment on the shooting range where they play The Wizard of Oz, it's very zany.

It's been a great first series, this is a fine finale, no wonder it lasted so long. 8/10
