Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDue to budget cuts at the BBC, it was shot in just two weeks.
- GoofsWhen Perry and Croft have to change the opening titles, the familiar map and arrows are shown where the German troop movements form a capital H. However, this is just a black & white version of the title sequence used in the later colour episodes of series 3 onwards. The original animation used in series 1 and 2 had the arrows forming a different shape.
- Quotes
Jimmy Perry: You're not going to cast me.
David Croft: I'm sorry.
Jimmy Perry: [in tears] I wrote the bloody thing to be in it!
- Crazy creditsOpening titles, with wording contained in broad arrows, in the style of the title sequence for Dad's Army (1968): "Some scenes in this film are imagined. BUT DON'T PANIC! Most of this really happened."

Featured review
Really Great Recreation
I remember watching the first ever
programme I saw every programme when it was repeated.I saw the stage and the film version and have read many books so I could be biased but I thought that this was a marvellous retelling of the story of the making of this TV phenomenon.How many other sitcoms are being repeated nearly 50 years after its production.Now a new Dads Army film.My favourite moment is Roy Judd as Bud Flanagan singing the title song.I saw Roy play Bud on the West End stage.I was also lucky enough to see Bud in what was probably his last stage performance at the Golders Green Hippodrome.This programme is almost as good as the original.
