Dads Army has been an enduring highlight of the small screen since its debut on British television in 1968. The show which follows the exploits of the Home Guard of Walmington-on-Sea a fictional seaside town on the south coast of England ran for nine series in total comprising 80 episodes & regularly attracted viewing figures of over 18 million at the height of its popularity. Today it is still shown weekly on BBC 2 & was recently placed fourth in a BBC poll of Britains Best Sitcoms Ever. The show has permeated British society with the characters signature catchphrases (particularly Captain Mainwarings Stupid boy!) having entered the lexicon of popular culture. Such is its appeal that in August 2008 Jonathan Ross paid tribute to Dads Army with an hour-long special looking back on the shows success & reliving its funniest moments. Yet Dads Army is also credited with drawing attention to the important role that Local Defence Volunteers (later known as the Home Guard) played in the Second World War in guarding coastal areas of Britain & other important industrial & military sites such as factories & explosives stores & in observing & reporting enemy aircraft. Bill Pertwee found fame as ARP Warden Hodges in the series & has put together a comprehensive tribute to all aspects of the show. This book
