Some great pics from this much loved series. Apart from Pike, it's sad that they're all now dead. I loved John Le Mesurier.

Great pics AOG.

I am surprised to see so many of Arnold Ridley though as I expected that he would have been 'excused'!

[Svejk]

very nice. What do you think of the new film, aog. Would you watch it?

[anotheoldgit]

Great casting, I can't think of anyone who did not fit their character.

One of the best episode was when Mainwaring's drunken brother paid him a visit.

Yes I would watch it, but I would also be comparing it to the original.

I don't think one can improve on perfection.

and who could forget the suspense captured by the mesmerising John Laurie and his story of the 'auld empty barn'.

His eyes were worth a thousand words!

Some good Piccies certainly,
But some mixed opinions as to how good it was here

I suppose most of their 'fans' will be content to wait for the television showing.

I well remeber a young John Laurie in an old Will Hay film called "The Ghost of St Michael's".

[agchristie]

Laurie was my favourite character. His meandering stories were great.

The solution to men stranded on a lighthouse?

The only way down was to dismantle it brick by brick'. Priceless!

Such as vintage wine.

Thetford is just up the road from me. Captain Mainwaring still sits there every day:

There's also a Dad's Army museum in Thetford:

Wow what a great statue, I wonder how many people have had their photo taken beside it? I know I would love to have one taken.

Some lovely pictures AOG, thank you. That is a lovely statue of Captain Mainwaring too. I have always enjoyed Dad's Army.
