Dad's Army Tour - Thetford

In this mini whistlestop tour, we take you to Thetford's iconic locations used in the BBC sitcom Dad's Army. Dad's Army celebrated its 50th anniversary on the 31st July 2018 during which time 80 episode were produced as it became a British comedy classic. We visit the clocktower which the German airman got his parachute caught on in 'Time on My Hands', visit Percy Street where Captain Mainwaring, Sergeant Wilson and Private Walker knocked on the door of each house to ask the lady of the home if they could inspect her knickers in the programme ''Man Hunt'. Watch the tour for more locations featured in the sitcom. For more information on Dad's Army visit Dad's Army Museum www.dadsarmythetford.org.uk and Thetford's great Information Centre www.leapinghare.org . www.litchfieldslifestyles.com .

Well, it was nice to watch your yesteryear Dad's Army tour it brought pleasant memories back of my childhood watching Dad's Army on the old TV in black and white/monochrome, colour TV's were only for the privileged.

Same here.. 3 channel push button black and white tv. I know we have all these gadgets and technology now, but things was better back then

I'm a Yank who began watching the episodes of "Dad's Army" here on RUclips a few years ago. I love this show and the cast was a great group of actors!

[@LitchfieldsLifestyles]

Thanks for your comment and it’s great that these comedies are available now to an international audience on RUclips. So many great British comedy shows from this era. Dad’s Army was one of the best.

You missed the location used when they were escorting the submarine crew and Jones gave the classic line " Mr Mainwaring, he,s got his hands down my trousers"

[@lthurgar3620]

Why do a Dad's Army Tour when the Dad.s Army museum is closed?

[@tonydavis7496]

Would have been better if there were actual clips from the series and current day shots

[@LitchfieldsLifestyles]

Thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately, copyright gets in the way :(

[@andrewruff4595]

Litchfield's Lifestyles that’s right, unless you wanna pay hundreds or thousands of pounds to use them.
I know, I tried myself.

[@andrewruff4595]

Tony Davis you can have screenshots from the series but not actual footage from the tv series, as they say due to copyright.
