I think most of us will remember Dads Army being on the television. The ragtag group of home guard volunteers who never quite got things just right. Charles Garland, former assistant to David Croft OBE tells the 'behind the scenes' stories of how the programme came to exist, with personal memories of the writers and cast members. Please join us for a fascinating, and predictably amusing talk. It includes anecdotes and personal insights about the writers, the cast, and what sets Dad’s Army apart from the rest of the TV comedy of its time.

Don't Panic! Even with the change of venue and it being an evening talk we will still be providing refreshments and the bar will be open!
