 | They don't like it up 'em! After cackling at an episode I don't think I'd seen today I found this: The Dads Army Appreciation Society. DAAS Front Page I may join.   Cheers, Adam.

| Thought I'd mention, for those who bravely voted "What is this 'Dads Army' of which you speak? that it was a comedy show on the BBC about the Home Guard. Absolutely adore the show of course, and also a fan of "It ain't half hot mum" too. The latter has seen much criticism recently for not being quite "right on" enough. Well I enjoyed it as a lad, and my son likes the DVD set I've got and not a hint of bigotry between us... cheers, |

There are so many good series from Britain! I wonder if "Love Thy Neighbour" or "Till Death Us Do Part" will ever get another run?

| Excellent show, I have them all (that are not lost) on DVD. Comedy at its best, many catchprases in use today, timeless - for me personally the greatest British comedy show. The last episode is particularly poignant when the cast raise a glass to the real Home Guard.
