DAD'S ARMY is a British comedy about a Home Guard platoon who must help MI5 uncover a German spy.

Language: There are uses of mild bad language such as 'bloody', 'arse', 'sod' and 'balls', as well as very mild terms including 'God' and 'Christ'.
Violence: There is battle scene in which two opposing sides exchange gunfire, but there is no sight of injury or any significant impact detail. A character is punched in the face and then kicked in the stomach, but this is without impact or injury detail.
Sex: There are some mild moments of comic innuendo, which include lines of dialogue such as "you slipped her your sausage" and "I'm on top tonight".
