The Army Game - Volume Two

A colossal success in its day, The Army Game features the humorous shenanigans of a mismatched bunch of National Service conscripts assigned to the Surplus Ordnance Department at Nether Hopping. The series - which ran for 154 episodes over five years - features the talents of William Hartnell, Bill Fraser, Alfie Bass, Charles Hawtrey, Bernard Bresslaw and Dick Emery. After the first episode in June 1957, the show rapidly became a national phenomenon.

This second volume contains the remainder of the surviving episodes, along with the Christmas Panto "Bootserella" from the 1960 variety show Chelsea At 9 and an episode of The Army Game spin-off Bootsie And Snudge.
