Here is the news, and this is john snyder reading it. It is now the summit of 1940 and with the possible threat of a german invasion Becoming stronger every day. Home guard units are on special alert at warmington on sea.
Captain mannering has taken over the novelty rock emporium on the sea front and intends to use it as a forward command post this evening he is busy putting the final touches to a diagram on the blackboard. Ah, that should do it good evening, sir. Well, hello, really! Sorry, yes, yes, I wanted to finish this new better plan.
Oh just a touch of plethora and cheers i'd rather rush, my meal this evening. For that sir try some of this. What is it jones bicarbonate, the soda cell? Nothing like it.
I always carry it with me. No really! Yes, I got nabbit when I was in the sudan, general kitchener was very keen on it. You know boys used to say he Always called us that always keep your vein sharpened and your bicarbonate of soda ready and then you won't get the wind up.
Oh, we had a very dry subtitle sense of humour in those circles. If you wanted to you just, let me know what it is up good evening. Captain mannering come in got here, fraser find room at the back somewhere.
Thank you. Now it's going to be a little crowded with a whole platoon in the small shop, but it Is early for this evening. Excuse me, sir.
Yes, I don't think you ought to remove that sharp belt. It's a bit of a nuisance, a bit of a nuisance. Yes, where's your imagination, wilson they'll, stop the enemy from taking us by surprise.
I never thought of that. No, no you're, all right back! I haven't started yet. Oh good, now just put your bike outside with the others boy, there's No room for it in here.
I have my laugh huh. What is it pike? Oh mum's, not gon na. Like me leaving my back in the street, you know I might get pinched just use your toe.
We should stop young pike, calling you uncle arthur. It's very bad for discipline. You know.
I'm honest, I said is, but it's really not my fault, you see when he was a little boy. He used to call me in something else. You see and uh I mean this is mrs pike.
I told him to call me uncle to stop him. Calling me something else: what did he used to call it daddy, we'll have a word with mrs pike and see if she can encourage him to call you sergeant instead, at least until the war's over all right all right now, and can I have your attention? I've asked you to pray here tonight at the novelty rock emporium, because in the event of an invasion, this shot will be Our commanders, our nerve center. Hey you! I beg your pardon who's in charge here, oh captain mandarin over there.
What is it wilson? What's this man, sir he's asking who's in charge, I told him you were quite right wilson, who are you anyway? Oh, this is my name and i'm the arp warden for this section, and I want to know what all those bicycles are doing outside they belong to members of my platoon. I don't care who they belong To get him shifted. I don't think I like your tone.
Don't you well i'll, try it in a different tone of shifting how's that don't you think you're all exceeding your authority! Section 4, paragraph 2 of the defense of the realm max states, no vehicles or any other means of transport will be left unattended in a useful condition. Don't you realize those Bicycles could be used by enemy parachute troops? I'm well aware of the situation. I take steps to see that it is attended to you better mate, otherwise i'll.
Let your tires down yeah they're thinking about my tires and i'll leave my shop. I've never had my command post as well. I'm going but don't say I haven't, warned you now and, as I was saying In the event of an invasion, this is the plan.
As soon as you hear the church bells, you will proceed at once. The novelty rocket forum, which is marked here on this diagrammation [, Music ] emergency - you would on a rifle here, be split into two sections. I should take one half some wilson take the other.
The first section will then move off to the crossroads here. One mile away now this is a vital strategic position. He who holds the crossroads, builds warmington on scene.
Now we need to establish a machine gun post and I think the ideal place would be god for scotland here you don't mind, mind watson, Haven't you been listening? Oh i'm sorry, sir. I was asking if we could use your cottage as a machine gun post deliver their sister, though that's right, sir, the trouble is she's getting a little obvi with the advancing years and she was in bed when the invasion came and she'd. Take one of her tablets: she might not be able to let us in haven't you.
The parrot is much funnier here than in the TV version.
