Dad's Army at the Âé¶¹Éç
Toby Jones presents a set of must-see Dad's Army moments from the Âé¶¹Éç's archives, including Mainwaring dancing and sparring with Morecambe and Wise and a special tribute to Noel Coward.
Ever since the first episode was broadcast in 1968, Dad’s Army has been one of the most familiar programmes on British television – much-loved and shown repeatedly, thanks to the affection it is held in by viewers of all generations. But despite its seemingly constant presence on screen, lots of Dad's Army moments have remained unseen inside the Âé¶¹Éç’s archives – until now.
Narrator Toby Jones – who himself played Captain Mainwaring in the 2016 Dad’s Army film – shares a selection of classic clips that feature everyone’s favourite Home Guard platoon in appearances that took them beyond the confines of Walmington-on-Sea. Amongst the many delights are Mainwaring dancing and sparring with Morecambe and Wise, the whole cast defending Buckingham Palace at the 1970 Royal Gala, Private Pike invading the Lulu Show, and a special song and dance tribute to Noel Coward – all must-see moments for fans of the show.
