Episode 33 - The Dad's Army Movie/Frank Williams special

04/06/09 • 56 min

Welcome to a very special episode of the Dad’s Army podcast. This month we are joined by none other than Frank Williams – the Reverend Timothy Farthing, to discuss the often controversial film version of Dad’s Army. The whole podcast team were present for this one – and Frank shares his experiences of being part of the production and talks about his many talented co-stars. The film has always divided fan opinion – some believing the series made a seamless transfer from TV to the silver screen whilst others believe it a travesty of the telly series.
