1. The Business Proposition

It's 1948 and 'Dad's Army' veterans Arthur Wilson and Frank Pike receive a surprise visitor at their bank in Frambourne-on-Sea.
Starring John Le Mesurier, Ian Lavender and Bill Pertwee.
A seaside saga of pier perpetuation.
Written by Harold Snoad and Michael Knowles.
Arthur Wilson ...... John Le Mesurier
Frank Pike ...... Ian Lavender
Bert Hodges ...... Bill Pertwee
Miss Perkins ...... Vivienne Martin
Mr Hunter ...... Robin Parkinson
Mr Short ...... Edward Burnham

After a pilot episode was made in 1981, Arthur Lowe sadly died.
So this 13-part series was revamped to feature the Dad's Army characters played by Pertwee and Lavender instead.
The series was later adapted for ITV by Yorkshire TV.
Based on the Dad's Army characters originally created by Jimmy Perry and David Croft.
Producer: Martin Fisher
