Wonderful photographs, loved Bill Pertwee cracking up as the parade marched faser and faster to get into the lead and the trotting nurses! Just noticed that @ 02.25 to 02.35 and 02.46 to 02.55. the photographs seem to have been transposed.
Wonderful collection many thanks for sharing ❤ ALL brilliant photographs but something about the Verger marching ahead of his Sea Cadet band in that hilariously over pronounced stride just instantly takes me to that very scene then when they start racing against Mainwarings platoon their faces genuinely full of joy laughter and happiness....how did things change to what they are today SO MUCH! 😢
My brother is in some of those pictures! He was in the ATC in Norwich at the time (231 Sqdn I think) and they played the air cadets in that episode. I think it was called The Big Parade. He's the tall, smiley one behind Capt Mainwaring at 7.59 in the running time (also in other places in that video). Was lovely to stumble across this. RIP Andrew.
Very excited to happen upon these photos today (April 2023).....but sad to realise i was a camera assistant in Thetford on DA the following year! I have no photos of those years.....
I think Dad's Army would be my favourite comedy ever. All the British ones from that time are wonderful, but this one takes the cake Clive Dunn was hilarious!
I second that, fantastic show..... I'll have to admit corporal Jones was one of my favorites, obviously had signs of PTSD..... I'm pretty sure he had the most extensive military service out of all of them.
@simmonsrenos9111 what in your opinion makes you say so in re of Corporal Jones especially in ref to 'ptsd' ? I don't ever remember any scene involving Jones with what you would remotely class as PTSD Aged yes certainly.
Amazing and surreal to capture two different historic times (1940's and 70's) in the collection. Sad to know many of the people in the images have passed on. Loved the insight to the production and direction of a comedy series of that era.

To find that point click on 7:59
May I ask what he did after? And now?
I’m very interested in how influences on young people shape their future life.
231 Norwich Sqn is still going strong. Those ATC cadets must have had a great time dressing up in the old 1941 uniforms 😊

This was for the season 4 episode "The Big Parade".

I was born that year and so didn't see the Big Parade until some years later. I am a great fan of Dad's Army!
Truly amazing photos of a much loved show,and images of the amazing cast ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤,love the film,but truly missed Janet Davis,the original Mrs Pike🐦😢😢
A real treasure trove of photographs.
Absolutely wonderful photos! Thank you for sharing them.

@@simmonsrenos9111 Don't panic, Corporal!
