The new animated episodes are 'The Loneliness of the Long Distance Walker', 'Under Fire', 1968 Christmas Special (Santa on Patrol) and the 1970 Christmas Special (The Cornish Floral Dance ). These are joined by 'A Stripe for Frazer', which has already been available since 2016.
The new animated episodes have been created by the same company as the 2016 episode and use the original cast recordings from the radio versions, (enhanced where required by Dad's Army Radio Hour's David Benson and Jack Lane).
