The Lost Episodes - The Loneliness of the Long Distance Walker/A Stripe for Frazer/The Deadly Attachment

A hilarious treat for the whole family with the welcome return of one of the most popular and revered British comedies of all time, Dad’s Army. The original BBC TV series first screened in 1968 soon became a comedy classic, running for nearly ten years and capturing the hearts of millions with its gentle, timeless humour and bulldog spirit. Lovingly re-created for the stage, this lavish new production with a star-studded cast, including Leslie Grantham (Dirty Den, Eastenders) and Peter Martin (Emmerdale Farm and The Royle Family), breathes new life into the misadventures of our Home Guard platoon in their fictional South Coast town of Walmington-on-Sea. Not seen since 1969, this production will offer a unique opportunity to see the lost episodes after the originals were erased by the BBC. So unless you saw them in back in 1969 now’s your chance. They were Britain's last line of defence!
