Podcast to record Dad's Army Movie special!

Your comments are required!

Following several requests from listeners, this weekend, the entire podcast team will be recording a round table discussion about the sometimes controversial, 1971 Dad's Army movie. I have great pleasure in announcing that Frank Williams, (the Reverend Timothy Farthing) will be joining us for what promises to be a very entertaining and lively discussion. If you have comments about the movie in general, or have any questions you like us to put to Frank then please send them to me at james@dadsarmypodcast.com by 6:00pm Friday 20 February (GMT) and I'll do my best to include them in the podcast.

The recording will form Episode 33 of the podcast and is likely to be on-line mid to late March 2009. Episode 32 should be on-line at some point over the next 10 days or so. The podcast's main page is here.

Hi James,

I always thought it was a pity that the movie didn't really cover any new ground for the most of it, a lot of re-created scenes from the Tellevision (the main difference being Godfrey with the gun and not Bracewell - isn't it amazing how much Godfrey's hearing improved!) , and I agree with the comment that I've often heard that it certainly lacked the reaction shots - that so much of the comedy in the tv series were based on, but certainly still a worthwhile addition to the dad's army collection. Would love to have seen the second movie with the secret u-boat base it certainly sounded like something different.


Cheers,

Hi Gareth

Thanks for your comments. It's surprising how many things you mention here that we actually spoke about whilst recording the podcast! This special podcast has now been edited (at last) and will be on-line either tonight or tomorrow night at the latest.
