The original pilot episode, set in 1948, involved former bank manager and Home Guard Captain George Mainwaring (Arthur Lowe) deciding to renovate a decrepit seaside pier in the fictional town of Frambourne-on-Sea, only to find when applying for a bank loan that the manager of the local branch is his former chief cashier and Home Guard Sergeant Arthur Wilson (John Le Mesurier).
He lives in the shadow of his bossy and over-protective mother, Mavis Pike, who is in a relationship with Sergeant Arthur Wilson, referred to by Pike as "Uncle Arthur", who is hinted to be Pike's father.
