Dad's Army: The Lost Episodes

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

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.

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 overwhelming justification for remaking these 3 episodes is because they are genuinely unavailable. I don't know whether anyone with primative video equipment ever pointed it at the telly in 1968. If there IS any footage it must be unusable (unlike the episode which was discovered, restored and colourised some years ago). Some of the writing in Episode 1 of this series has some really good moments and gags which I remember from watching it about 50 years ago. I avoided the newish movie because I don't feel (as with the first movie version) that the format is not as charming outside the studio and dreamy woodland lanes of the TV environment. Cast is much better than hoped for and the reason I can't agree with the previous reviewer is that these are the original scripts - so the comment is nonsensical.......
