The Making of Private Pike

"The Making of Private Pike"[1] is the second episode of the ninth and final series of the British comedy series Dad's Army.

Pike, still heady from his raspberryade binge, borrows it to drive his new girlfriend to the cinema in Eastgate.

Pike's naive and immature nature ruins the date.

On the way back, however, and nine miles from Walmington, it runs out of petrol.

It takes Pike all night to push it back.

The Austin 8 used during filming is now at Bressingham Steam and Gardens
