The Army Game Collection

The Army Game was a sitcom giant of its time, and one of ITV's most popular shows. Created by Sid Colin, it pre-dated the more famous Dad's Army by eleven years.

A group of men serving out time as conscripts in the army are determined to dodge duty and derive maximum fun out of a situation they'd rather not be in.

Because WWII was only 12 years past and national service was very much a reality, many viewers found they could identify with the characters and the situation they found themselves in.

50 surviving episodes of the highly successful and influential sitcom are included, complete and uncut, over the 6 discs in this set.
