“I ONLY ARSKED!”

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 - showcases the talents of Alfie Bass as Private “Excused Boots” Bisley and Bill Fraser as Sgt. Major Snudge. After the first episode in June 1957 the show rapidly became a national phenomenon, spawning a spin-off series, movies, a hit single and even a board game!

This set comprises every episode remaining in the archives, along with special features that include an excerpt from the 1960 Granada TV pantomime, “Bootserella”, and a 1963 episode of the sequel, Bootsie and Snudge.
