Sergeant Wilson is finally to become a bank manager and when it transpires that his Eastgate branch will be larger than that run by Captain Mainwaring at Walmington-on-Sea and also that Sergeant Wilson is to be promoted into the Eastgate Home Guard the captam is green with envy Wilson can't help revelling in his new found equality but disaster is just around the comer 6 55 Weather 7 0 News 7 5 Morning Concert 8 0 News 9 0 News 9 5 This Week's Cc mpose (S) Gee Philt Tir ann Topin Pia 10 (Sic (S) i ThaCounfTy(S) nesco (S) PhilF a ic orchestra (o) News BBC Lunchtime Concert (S) Song recital 2 0 Music Weekly (S) 2 58 New Records (S) 4 55 News Lppy.
