Couldn't be much worse than the BBC years Guvnor, I wouldn't mind too much if they remade it after that debacle What about a film version of 'Oh No, It's Selwyn Froggitt!'? I'd go & see that.

I think Sergeant Wilson's line to Mainwaring should have be quoted when it was proposed: "Do you really think that's wise, sir?" I'm with you on this one Sam; why rehash a classic in a vein attempt to wring some cash out of it. The originals cannot be matched but they don't understand that. Can't the writers of today think up some original programmes & films that will become classics themselves in 20 - 30 years time.

In this country it would seem not DD. The yanks are turning out a lot of new series which is good if you like that kind of thing. I'm not a massive fan. Dad's Army really looks like an attempt to make cash.

It's not a show I watched growing up, it's hard to tell when & why I got interested in it. I think the most important character in it is Godfrey. One of the best episodes is the one where he is 'outed' as a Conscientious Objector & is sent to Coventry by the others. I think Perry & Croft were aware that the actor who played him Arnold Ridley, despite appearances, knew the horrors of war first hand & there's something very moving about that. There's a lot more to the show than 'don't panic' & 'stupid boy'. Hi De Hi has some of the same pathos. That's one of the problems with the new film, it won't be able to capture that underlying seriousness & the fact that war was something that that generation of actors & writers actually lived through. he then volunteered for the medical core and was given a high valor medal mainwairing asked why he never told anybody i cant remember the long word he said for it.
i think it will be quite good film a reminder of what our forefathers went through which murdoch and co want us to forget.our Britishness from the four corners of Britain another memory of the original series is when they put the lighthouse on full beam Godfrey was making rabbit shapes across warmonton on sea and manwairing was holding off till the last minute to shoot the beam out as german warplanes were advancing . moving moment i thought.

He said it would look 'ostentatious'. Yes, it's a memorable moment with Godfrey in the lighthouse with the gun poised to shoot at it, very moving as you say.
