Dad's Army is quite simply the most successful British TV sitcom of all time. Eighty episodes were made and are constantly repeated. The first black-and-white series, re-shown for the first time in 1999, attracted 4.6 million viewers, outperforming 'Have I got News for You' and almost outstripping Channel Four's most popular programme, 'Friends'. When the second series was shown on Saturday nights in 1998 it took 7 million viewers and 40% of the audience. Almost every comedy writer from Ben Elton and Richard Curtis to John Sullivan and David Renwick pay homage to this �the perfect sitcom�. When BBC centre was blacked out on Tuesday 20 June for the first time in 40 years by a power cut Dad�s Army was drafted in to save us from blank screens. Dad�s Army is simply an icon in TV comedy.

A companion to the bestselling 'Dad's Army: Walmington GoesTo War' (Series 1-4), 'Dad's Army: The Home Front' covers series 5-8 of the much-loved TV sitcom. Published for the first time, the complete illustrated scripts also contains introductions to each episode by the actors, writers and producers of the series.
