		The patrol is ordered out to send in three successive notes to be obtained from a certain house, or tokens such as sprigs of certain plants, from a place say two miles distant, or further if the patrols are on cycles.
		Patrol flags tied to small sticks (not poles) may be borne by some of the stormers, and a stormer who carries his, flag into the base may demand the release of a prisoner.
		Two start out with orders to return within two or three hours and report, on their honor, any good turns they have been able to do in the time, if necessary calling at houses and farms and asking if there is any job to be done-for nothing.

		Arthur Lowe and John Le Mesurier were keen to return to their roles as Mainwaring and Wilson, and a Pilot was recorded for BBC Radio in early 1982.
		Sadly a few months after the recording of the pilot, Arthur Lowe died, hence the original pilot episode of "It Sticks Out Half a Mile" was never broadcast.
		"It Sticks Out Half A Mile" bore little resemblence to its forebearer, and remains a curio of 13 episodes which have a sense of sadness hanging over them, due to the recent loss of Arthur Lowe and also been the final work of John Le Mesurier.

	It Sticks Out Half a Mile - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It Sticks Out Half a Mile was a BBC Radio sitcom created by Harold Snoad and Michael Knowles as a sequel to the television war sitcom Dad's Army, for which Snoad and Knowles had written radio adaptations.
		The pilot, recorded in 1981, was never transmitted and the master recording was apparently wiped, but co-writer Snoad kept a copy which he later returned to the BBC.
		It is probably fair to say that the series was not a high-water mark in BBC comedy, but nevertheless it did feature some of John Le Mesurier's last performances, and many listeners were shocked to discover that the BBC was still wiping material as late as the 1980s.

		This saltwater outing, exploring the Back and Cross rivers in Boothbay, has it all: birds, seals, interesting geology, swirling waters and just enough solitude amid the cottages and homes to provide respite from the cares of work and home.
		Just a few minutes out we were met with the gleeful calls of laughing gulls perched on seaweed-covered ledges.
		Then it was back out to the fast water for the last few yards of flow out into the vast eastern reaches of the Cross River, which becomes at this point a large tidal salt-water basin.

		A 1/4 of a mile into the race there is the largest of the bridges (9 meters above sea level-highest elevation on the course) that is really not too tough because it is gradual and early in the race.
		At the 2.5 mile mark you'll have a second incline that is less gradual of an incline but much lower in height than the first bridge.

	The Avengers Forever: Clive Dunn (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Dunn was then in the largely unsuccessful ITV series The Tony Hancock Show (1956), later turning up in the much better (and better-remembered) Hancock's Half Hour, "The Reunion Party" (1959).
		He was a regular as "Old Johnson" in Bootsie and Snudge (1960-63), co-written by Marty Feldman, before taking on the similar role of Lance Corporal Jones, a peppery survivor of the Great War, in every episode of Dad's Army and a film version in 1971.
		To be honest, some of his physical clowning in the series was a bit out of place with the restrained character comedy of the rest of the cast; you always knew that he was playing an old man, whereas they were the genuine article.
