- Dad’s Army is one of Britain’s favourite ever sitcoms. With regular viewing figures of 12 million and popular repeats to this day, it’s as funny now as it ever was and each generation brings a whole new group of fans - not bad for a show that got no laughter on its first studio record and was nearly pulled after one series.
We Love Dad’s Army, charts the story of the show from humble beginnings to smash hit.
This show celebrates all the iconic catchphrases, the hilarious stunts and goes behind the scenes to discover what happened when the cameras stopped rolling, with insight from former cast member Ian Lavender who had no idea that his character, Pike, would be responsible for the most famous line of the series.
Featuring contributions from Jonathan Ross, John Thompson, Al Murray, Eammon Holmes, Dame Kelly Holmes and many others. We Love Dad’s Army is a celebration of one of Britain’s most beloved sitcoms.
RIP Ian Lavender/Pikey. Sadly missed. "I'll tell Mum!" I'm American and found the show on Britbox about four years ago. It's one of my favorite comedies, and its brilliance and genius transcends time and cultures.
Pikey with his scarf and Tommy Gun and his Mum......Brilliant!!!
'Quiet in the ranks mum'
In hindsight, what a superb performance by Ian Lavander!
Uncle Sergeant the honourable Arthur!
Maybe the best TV series EVER MADE
How fun. Thank you for uploading.
Read this in Godfrey's voice
Love ❤️ the boys ❤❤
Thank you for sharing. I love Dad's Army. Do you have anymore, clips, interviews, shorts, etc., about Dad's Army? Or any other David Croft and Jimmy Perry shows? Thank you.
Really fun documentary, wish out countries TV showed them and we've not had Dad's Army reruns for years. Sad side note: Arthur Lowe missed lines on that awards show clip due to sickness, it was his last appearance. His real life wife also played the role of Dolly Godfrey in 5 episodes of Dad's Army.
Brilliant. Chuffed to bits to see so many 'new' shots and interviews. You'd think we've seen it all by now...
Dads Army is an interesting marker of a social system that celebrated decent Family ,Community and Cultural expression .....which is now ?
Brought up on this and was so keen to get the full set of tapes I searched looking for a fan club and found the only one at the time in Cambridge. New Zealand's Cambridge 12,000 miles away. and just as surprising was to learn the Clive was the youngest actor, shows what make up can do, Also explains how he was able to do the stuff he did.
I thought Ian Lavender was the youngest in the cast
Arthur Lowe was a comedic genius, it's a travesty he never won a BAFTA. No one else could possibly have played him, same with all the others of course.
Godfrey was everyone's favourite grandad and Mainwaring was so hard on him. Don't be insolent Godfrey😂😂😂😂😂
Has entered my brother's dreams lolz
Inmortal and eternal comedy. Especially at the background of the present situation in Britain: equally ridiculous but certainly not a comedy.
"We must use gormless celebrities to say things like "It's funeeee", otherwise the people watching won't understand that it's funny."
Well said , awful ramblings, Al murray??! Jeez
Did i blink ? No look at the Vicar and the Verger ??
👍
Well done, but yet another presentation ruined by the added music.
