"The Making of Private Pike" is the second episode of the ninth series of the British comedy series Dad's Army that was originally transmitted on 9 October 1977.

Synopsis

Finally, Mainwaring has his own staff car. Pike, still heady from his raspberryade binge, borrows it to drive his new girlfriend to the cinema in Eastgate. Pike's naive and immature nature ruins the date. On the way back, however, and nine miles from Walmington, it runs out of petrol. It takes Pike all night to push it back. It's time for Wilson to have a serious word with the boy.
