Dad's Army: The Lost Episodes

I awaited these three episodes with a mixture of anticipation and trepidation, as I am a massive fan of the original series, and was monumentally disappointed with the 2016 film effort. But from that to this I can see the problem - the 2016 film wasn't written by Jimmy Perry and David Croft, while these were, which is why I shouldn't have worried. Yes, the cast are obviously understudies (as they described themselves), but they mostly do very well in finding the characters as we would recognise them, with special credit to Robert Bathurst. It's not a 10/10, but it's as close as it can be. I'm very pleased that, in lieu of the original episodes being found somewhere, we do at least have these that we can go to and (to an extent) now watch the entire series of Dad's Army

How hard is it to play a character that is well established and loved. The whole cast did very well and I enjoyed the 3 episodes. There was lots of money and top names thrown at the recent film version which was not good unlike this low key re make of original scripted episodes, really enjoyed it so well done to the makers and shame on the bbc for losing the original episodes

Well done gold ,all the cast and crew , exceeded my expectations , laughed my socks off , uncanny lookalikes and voices , well done , can only dream off a series after the three specials

The sets were excellent, almost identical. I thought the cast was well matched to the originals but obviously they can't replace them. I was pleasantly surprised to find that each episode was very watchable and although it sometimes felt a bit rushed I did enjoy the episodes. Purists will be horrified but I can only congratulate the production team and cast for a very good effort. Well done.

It's not going to be the original! It wasn't intended to be. This is a remake of lost episodes Great acting by all 10 out 10.
