A warm blanket of nostalgia

I’m fortunately a child of this golden era of TV. I can vividly remember watching episodes of Dad’s Army with my family and now I can listen to these fabulous episodes, picturing each character so clearly and feeling a sense of comfort each time that theme tune plays! Each episode gives a peak into a time that was innocent and community focused, coping with the adversity of war and of course with that British sense of humour. As I say it was a golden era..

Great until last one

I enjoyed this right up to the last episode. It sounded as though Arthur Lowe was totally drunk through the entire performance. It shouldn’t have been added in. It basically ruined the rest of it especially as it was the last one. Very disappointing. I would recommend the rest of them & the previous releases. They were all quite entertaining
