Short filmTranscript
00:00The time is World War II, when the free world was threatened by a maniacal dictator, when
00:14the skies over England were harassed by a ruthless enemy, hell-bent on our destruction.
00:21The time of crisis that cried out for a man to match the hour.
00:26Another Drake, a George Washington, another Churchill.
00:30Spring, summer, autumn, or winter, over the sea or out of the sky, or up between our legs,
00:37or up...
00:38Wherever they come from, we'll be ready for them.
00:41Who do you think you are kidding, Mr. Hitler, if you think we're on the run?
00:49Now we've no arms, but we have one invaluable weapon in our armory.
00:56Ingenuity and improvisation.
00:58That's two.
00:59Again.
01:00It was a time for men of ingenuity.
01:03Well, excuse me, Padre, I don't suppose you'd be interested in buying some petrol cubots?
01:08The hour for innovation.
01:10What's that supposed to mean?
01:12You said if we hadn't got anything else, we'd tie a carving knife to a broom handle.
01:16I didn't mean that you were to leave the broom on the end of the handle, you stupid boy.
01:21Dud's Army.
01:24Men of valour, men of courage.
01:27Guardians of our survival.
01:30Meet them.
01:31Captain Mannering.
01:33Sergeant Wilson.
01:37Lance Corporal Jones.
01:40Who do you think you are?
01:41We're the local defence volunteers, and I'm their appointed commander, Captain Mannering.
01:45And I must ask you to keep your hands off my privates.
01:47And the privates, God bless them.
01:50Fraser.
01:51Walker.
01:52Godfrey.
01:53Pike.
01:55Uncle Arthur must be a very light sleeper, Mum.
01:57How am I?
01:59When I came down this morning for the milk, his bed-hardy look slept him.
02:05And the women behind the men.
02:07You shouldn't have had that joint the weekend.
02:09No, well, you know what my husband is, Mr Jones.
02:12I mean, he will insist on his little bit of brisket.
02:15Right, get ready.
02:17Oh, nothing's happening.
02:27The war took six of the best years of the lives of millions.
02:32Now you know why.
