It’s only a few days now until the new Dad’s Army film opens in cinemas throughout the country. To get yourself into that Home Guard mood early, check out this short feature in which cast and crew, old and new, discuss the new film.

Ian Lavender discusses Pike (stupid boy) and Frank Williams talks about playing Rev Timothy Farthing (which he has now done in the original TV series, the 1971 film and now the 2016 film). Plus more from Catherine Zeta-Jones, Bill Patterson, Toby Jones, Bill Nighy and many more of the wonderful cast of the new film.

We are a little nervous to see what this new Dad’s Army will look like on 5th February – but it will certainly be interesting and great to see the magnificent seven back on parade.

SYNOPSIS:

It is 1944 and World War II is reaching its climax. The Allies are poised to invade France and finally defeat the German army.  But in Walmington-on-Sea morale amongst the Home Guard is low. Their new mission then – to patrol the Dover army base – is a great chance to revive spirits and reputation, that is until glamorous journalist Rose Winters arrives to write about their exploits, setting the pulses racing and putting the local women on red alert.  MI5 then discover a radio signal sent direct to Berlin from Walmington-on-Sea.  There’s a spy on the loose! The outcome of the war is suddenly at stake, and it falls to our unlikely heroes to stand up and be counted.
