Dad's Army podcast

Welcome once again to another edition of the Dad’s Army Podcast. This week we catch up on the latest Dad’s Army news, talk about It Sticks Our Half a Mile - the 1980’s Dad’s Army spin-off currently airing on BBC7 and have a rummage through the mailbag and read some e-mails that you have sent us. We also welcome Clare back to the podcast – she joins me to discuss the series four episode, The Two and Half Feathers. Don’t forget to check out the podcast’s blog – take part in polls, read the most recent news, check out photos of the locations used in the series and of the recent Croft and Perry Day – www.dadsarmypodcast.blogspot.com As always, we’d love to hear from you – send your e-mails to james@dadsarmypodcast.com. The link to the BBC7 listen again site is http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbc7/listenagain/tuesday/ Enjoy the podcast!

In this podcast James and Tony discuss Croft and Perry Day 2008, interview the delightful Pamela Cundell (who played Mrs Fox in the programme, and in the last episode Never Too Old, became Mrs Jones when she married Corporal Jones) and talk about the BBC’s plans to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the show. Our featured episode this week is series four’s The Test. The sound quality is not so good in this podcast I'm afraid - mainly because I am in the middle of decorating my office at home - it's floor-boarded and therefore very echoey. Hope this doesn't spoil your enjoyment too much. We’ll be back with podcast 24 in three weeks or so when we’ll be discussing The Two and Half Feathers – feel free to let us have your comments on this episode and we’ll include them in the show. Enjoy the podcast.

James brings you Episode 19 of the podcast. Lots of news this week about the programmes 40th anniversary and the events that are being held to celebrate the milestone. There's the Appreciation Society' Croft and Perry Day on the 11th May, and Thetford Council are planning an whole weekend of celebration. We talk about what in store for those who pay Thetford a visit on either the 26th or the 27th July. Paul Carpenter of the Dad’s Army Appreciation Society joins us once again, this time to discuss the season five story, Time on my Hands. Be warned – we had a nightmare recording this section of the podcast and the quality does dip considerably. It is far more listenable if you listen to this part through speakers rather than using headphones. Hope it doesn’t spoil your enjoyment too much. We will be back in one week’s time with a special podcast previewing the Bressingham event. As always, please send you feedback to us at james@dadsarmypodcast.com
