Here is the news, and this is john snag - reading it In the summer days of 1942, britain is still very much at war. The german u-boat campaign against allied shipping in the atlantic is biting deep into our island's economy. Food and raw materials are in short supply, but there is no scarcity of courage and determination, and nowhere is this more ably demonstrated than by the brave men of the home guard, especially the warming to non-sea Platoon commanded by captain mannering.
Now man, I received a letter from chief warden hodges of the arp great. Can I have it wilson? Yes, sir? Yes, yes, there's a i've, got it somewhere permission into rupture. Yes, if that letter, which come from chief ward knodgies and which sergeant wilson is now fumbling for, is about me and mrs prosser being discovered in the air raid shelter, I would like to say it is not true, sir quick apartment.
Well, you see she come over. All of a sudden, faint and I had to take her into the airaid shelter and pull itself together. You see, sir split has got nothing at all to do with you.
Well, I just want you to know, sir, that if it had it wouldn't be true. It's all right, i'd like to get on, but here's the letters. Thank you wilson.
Oh yes, now the wardens want to challenge Us to a cricket match. Now I used to be quite a possible opening bat and uh more than an average bowler myself. What about you? Wilson, well, I can bat a bit and burn a bit good.
Who else have we got mr volunteer, sir? Yes general, I would like to keep wicket sir. I kept it once at the rear of the great branches sinjitsa who was an indian gentleman, and he did not like it, sir, because I whipped off his bales Hell. You can be our wicked keeper, then jones.
Thank you, sir. Thank you. I'd like to play too.
Sir well done bye, so what are mr mannering and uh? I think mark laymie adds on a couple of reconditioned cricket balls they're very hard to get nowadays. Thank you. Walker they've been most acceptable.
I'd be delighted to play somewhere that doesn't involve too much walking about them. Thank you. Girlfriend yeah, not too far from the pavilion all right, Who else? What about you fraser? Oh, I don't mind having to go if somebody'll explain the basic principles of the thing I mean you don't play cricket.
Well, they tried it once on the isla barra. It wasn't a success to the wild and windy place. He understand the stumps kept getting blown to the ground.
Well, it seems that we have the nucleus of a team. So Do we play the wardens? Go that's the sort of fighting spirit I like to hear well we'll set up some nets in the yard outside and get in a bit of practice, and some wilson, you tell hodges that we accept their challenge very good, then uh. Naturally, I shall captain our team.
Oh really, sir, how completely unexpected right walker take up a good stance at The wicket okay, mr manory, no man! I I want you to watch this one very carefully. I'm going to build you a rather tricky one walker. It's a deceptive! Somewhat unorthodox ball.
I call it my triple spin in swinger. I don't be ashamed of walking if you miss it. It's defeated many inexperienced batsmen of the past right get ready Here.
It comes. Oh well done walker, it was a lovely leg. Glide! Well done! Yes! Well, that didn't quite come off, but i'd like to give you a tip, though walker yeah, just just let me have the bat for a moment, hey officer.
Thank you. I can all pay attention to this because you'll all profit by it now, whether you play forward to a good length ball like so or play back to a short ball like so It is absolutely essential that you play with a straight bat. Why why? Why do we have to do it like that, because it's the correct way if you continue to slash the ball in any old ugly fashion like you just did you'll miss it completely? Well, I it didn't I oh, it was luck little ball pack.
Yes, mr mandarin, now watch walking i'll show you pike set me down a good length straight One very good, mr mandarine. Now everybody take particular note how I keep my eyes on the ball. All the way, from the bowler's hand, right onto the bed right right, pike boom right, mr mandarin, coming up out hold on frank.
Well done: middle stump. Sorry, mr man, the sun shining in my eyes, a damn newton. You seem to lose sight of the ball.
Sir! Didn't you somewhere between the bonus hand and the bat? It's all right. Thank you all right, godfrey, let's see you have a good batting. I'd have pads on no, no, no we're not bowling fast ones.
Best comedy ever. The writing and casting was brilliant. I almost know all the episodes off by heart. Nothing like these since.
"The Verger cracks me up"
“play”
Nice to hear but is the tape running a little slow
several contunity errors in the TV version of the show
1. When the ball was lost and Walker gave Mainwairing the new ball, the ball should have been called dead ball or 4 or 6 and the Wardens shoukld not have been able to score the runs they did
2. Godfreys final winning 6 would never have been a 6 it came almiost off his gloves/bat handle
3. Wilson should have been run out when he helped Godfrey to his end.
still didnt spoil the episode
They are not continuity errors though.
@@DS-um9hi no just errors
@@CricketEngland also when fred trueman was bowling full pace the wicket keeper was stood up to the stumps
@@user-vq8wz8xs1o yes and Hodges was supposedly Warrington on Sea’s CC best bowel and not a Wicket keeper
What a little liar Captain M was about his bowling - others missing non existent catches and promoting himself as best bowler and batter, sun in his
eyes and “tempting “ the batter or catcher - wonderful character with a permanent inferiority complex. I wonder which writer, David Croft
or Jimmy Perry new the person they based him on !! Can listen over and over again and I do.
Far too much 'Mister'....... It should be 'Captain Mainwaring' when on parade
