'Lost' audios found
The podcast has received early reports that an audio version of the 1968 Dad's Army 'A Christmas Night with the Stars' sketch has been found and returned to the BBC. This special sketch is one of two previously 'lost' sketches recorded for festive celebratory programme - the other being the Cornish Floral Dance sketch. The re-discovered audio of the 1968 special has no official title, but features members of the platoon arriving at the Church Hall dressed as Father Christmas giving various different reasons for their attire. **UPDATE 5 DECEMBER 2008** This story has now been confirmed by the BBC!! Great news!
Rumour also has it that a new, high quality audio version of the television version of a Stripe for Frazer has also made its way back to the BBC. dadsarmy.tv reports the story.
The podcast will bring you further details when the these two stories have been confirmed. **UPDATE 4 December 2008** The Dad's Army Appreciation Society have now confirmed that a recording of A Stripe for Frazer has been found and returned to the BBC.

stripe for fraser seems to have been found as a bit of the show is on youtube lookin foward to seeing it finaly
Unfortunately not - scenes from A Stripe were performed as part of the 1970s stage play and do exist on film. Sadly A Stripe for Frazer remains lost...
so what is that on youtube?? Thought we were gonna get a treat at last as the last one was room at bottom in colour. Its my fave at that you know!
Looks like a fake to me. The font of the episode title is not the same as any of the other episodes and looks to me as if it's been photoshopped over a black and white version of the the titles.
I could be wrong though....I HOPE I'm wrong!!!
