Wilson has received a good beating. They are, therefore, shocked when Wilson enters without a scratch on him. Hodges is terrified and leaves. Sometime later, Mainwaring forgives the men for their lapse in behaviour, and confirms to the platoon that Jones was wrong about Mrs Mainwaring. They "have never been blessed in that way but in every other way it has been a most happy marriage, in fact, almost blissful". Cast Arthur Lowe as Captain Mainwaring John Le Mesurier as Sergeant Wilson Clive Dunn as Lance Corporal Jones John Laurie as Private Frazer James Beck as Private Walker Arnold Ridley as Private Godfrey Ian Lavender as Private Pike Bill Pertwee as ARP Warden Hodges Janet Davies as Mrs Pike Edward Sinclair as Verger J. G. Devlin as Regan Arthur English as Policeman Patrick Connor as Seamus Verne Morgan as Landlord Michael Lomax as 2nd ARP Warden Notes The appearance of Patrick Regan, a suspected IRA man, and colleagues was one of the few occasions in Dad's Army when the platoon was presented with a threat other than the Germans. In comparison to more frequent re-runs of other episodes in the series, after an initial repeat in 1971, the episode was not screened again until November 1992, and then not again until May 2012. It has been speculated that the presence of the IRA suspect is the reason for this. In the subsequent radio adaptation in April 1976, the IRA suspect is replaced with an escaped convict.
