Dad's Army Missing Episodes
Dad's Army missing episodes usually refers to the three lost episodes of the black-and-white second series of the British sitcom television programme Dad's Army. Broadcast material was routinely wiped or "junked" by the BBC (and ITV) during the 1960s and 1970s for mainly economic reasons. The effect on Dad's Army principally affected almost the whole of the second series, although two formerly missing episodes were recovered in 2001. An off-air copy of the soundtrack of another missing episode, and the 1968 Christmas sketch, were recovered in 2008. In all, three episodes from the black-and-white second series and two of the four Christmas inserts are still missing, as of 2013.

“Now folks, I hereby declare the first church of Tombstone, which ain’t got no name yet or no preacher either, officially dedicated.

—Dorothy Parker (1893–1967)
“Kids and violent TV, violent TV and violence, violence and kids. The only people missing from this discussion are the parents. Where are we? Gone. Abdicated.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1953)
“Twenty or thirty years ago, in the army, we had a lot of obscure adventures, and years later we tell them at parties, and suddenly we realize that those two very difficult years of our lives have become lumped together into a few episodes that have lodged in our memory in a standardized form, and are always told in a standardized way, in the same words. But in fact that lump of memories has nothing whatsoever to do with our experience of those two years in the army and what it has made of us.”
—Václav Havel (b. 1936)
