Home Stories. Such a negative report could well have stopped the show going ahead but the production team sneakily sat on it until the first episode had been broadcast. Immediately well received, the show went on to regularly gain audiences of 18 million viewers.

The very first episode of Dad's Army, The Man and the Hour, begins with a scene set in the 'present day' - , when the show was first broadcast. In the scene, an elderly Mainwaring gives a patriotic address recalling his time in the Home Guard as a way to endorse Harold Wilson's "I'm Backing Britain" campaign. So all that follows - over the whole of the 80 episodes of the sitcom - is technically a flashback! There were Dad's Army spin offs including a film and a revue-style stage show but there was also a bona fide sequel in the form of a BBC radio sitcom called 'It Sticks Out Half a Mile' which aired after the TV show ended.

The pilot episode followed Captain Mainwaring and Sergeant Wilson after the war but, when Arthur Lowe died in , the show was recast to include the characters of Warden Hodges and Private Pike, along with Wilson, and broadcast in Erected in Thetford, Norfolk - which doubled for Walmington-on-Sea in the exterior shots of the show - the statue features Mainwaring sitting to attention on a bench at the end of a winding pathway decorated with the Union Flag arrow head as featured in the opening credits of Dad's Army.

The role of Sergeant Wilson was also originally envisaged for prolific TV actor Robert Dorning who went on to appear in the classic episode "Something Nasty in the Vault" as a bank inspector. Skip to main content Home Main Menu. Search gold.
