Dad's Army podcast

Welcome to our second Christmas Special podcast of 2010 – and what a treat Oliver, James and Paul have for you this time around. Recorded not more than four weeks ago, Bill Pertwee MBE, our loveable Air Raid Warden, sat down and spent 40 minutes talking to us about his life, career, and of course, Dad’s Army. Grab a mug of cocoa and pull up a comfy chair in front of the fire and listen to Bill give one of the most frank and comprehensive interviews of his career. Enjoy. Let us know what you think of the interview - james@dadsarmypodcast.com, oliver@dadsarmypodcast.com are the email addresses you need – and we’ll be going through the feedback we receive in our next episode scheduled for the end of January 2011. Have a great Christmas and New Year and a big thank you to all our listeners the world over – we wouldn’t be able to do this without you. James and Oliver

Hello and welcome to the first of our two Christmas podcasts this year. This time, Oliver and I are joined by Paul Carpenter of the Dad's Army Appreciation Society to commentate on The Love of Three Oranges. Whilst this episode is not particularly christmassy in itself, it was the 1976 Christmas Special and marked the return of Dad's Army to BBC1 after almost a year of being off air. Our second Christmas podcast will be out in a couple of weeks and will be a rather special interview episode. There's a teeny-weeny hint as to who we'll be interviewing in Episode 54! Enjoy the podcast and keep the feedback coming in - we'll be going through the mailbag once again in January 2011. The email addresses you need are james@dadsarmypodcast.com or oliver@dadsarmypodcast.com. TTFN!

Welcome to a very special episode of the Dad’s Army podcast. This episode James and Oliver bring you coverage of the 2010 Dad’s Army weekend held back in June this year. We listen in on the unveiling of the Captain Mainwaring statue and hear from both David Croft and Bill Pertwee at the ceremony. But that’s not all! At the Dad’s Army appreciation society member’s meal, I had the honour of interviewing Jimmy Perry, Harold Snoad and Michael Knowles – live on stage in front of over 200 people! I also spoke to Frank Williams and Pamela Cundell at the event who were both as charming as ever. Last but not least, I spoke to Stuart Wright, the Thetford Town Councillor and driving force behind the statue initiative – and he talks about the next project which is a re-creation of the Marigold Team Rooms! Thetford really is the place to be for all Dad’s Army fans these days! Enjoy the show and as always, send in your feedback to us at james@dadsarmypodcast.com or oliver@dadsarmypodcast.com. We’ll be back in late September with a feedback episode.

James and Oliver are back with a commentary to the series 3 episode, War Dance. Enjoy this commentary – I don't think we've ever made so many mistakes during a recording! Well, all these commentaries are recorded ‘as live’ with no editing and quite honestly, under the influence of a bottle of rather nice white wine... Episode 51 will be out late August and will feature coverage of this year’s Dad’s Army weekend held in June – and what a weekend that was! I was able to record interviews with Jimmy Perry, Michael Knowles and Harold Snoad along with a few others. It was great to meet so many listeners over the weekend too – thank you all for being so friendly and complimentary about the podcast. We will also announce the winner of the competition on the next show, so keep your ears tuned if you entered! Thanks also to everyone who has sent in feedback – once again we’ve had a load and Oliver and I look forward to going through it all in detail in a future podcast very soon.
