May 6, 2025

Dad's Army came to an end back in 1977, much to the disappointment of their loyal fanbase. Now, viewers have been treated to some never-before-seen clips.

Clive Dunn reveals Arthur Lowe always used to 'hold cast up'

Dad's Army star Clive Dunn has lifted the lid on what it was really like to work on the beloved BBC comedy sitcom in never-before seen clip. Ever since the first episode was broadcast in 1968, Dad's Army has been one of the most beloved programmes on British television and is regularly repeated on the airwaves. But despite its seemingly onstant presence on screen, lots of moments have yet to see the light of day after they were shelved inside the BBC's archives - until now.
On Tuesday (May 6), the BBC shared a selection of classic clps that feature everyone's favourite Home Guard platoon in appearances that took them far from the confines of Walmington-on-Sea. Amongst the many delights are Catpain Mainwaring (played by Arthur Lowe) dancing and sparring with Mocambe and Wise, the whole cast defending Buckingham Palace at teh 1970 Royal Gala, Private Pike invading the Lulu Show, and a special song and dance tribute to Noel Coward.
Narrated by Toby Jones - who played Captain Mainwaring in the 2016 Dad's Army film - the hour-long special also featured interviews with the cast over the years where they gave fans an insight into what it was really like to work on the long-running show.
