Between 1973 and 1975, a total of 67 episodes of Dad’s Army were adapted from Jimmy Perry and David Croft’s original television scripts for broadcast on BBC Radio 4. The much-loved cast, which included Arthur Lowe, John Le Mesurier and John Laurie, recreated their screen performances for audio with reworked scripts by Harold Snoad and Michael Knowles.
However, 13 episodes were never recorded for the wireless incarnation. Three of those scripts have now been adapted and performed in the style of the original team by David Benson and Jack Lane. Dad’s Army – The Radio Show is now available on CD or download from Big Finish Productions (bigfinish.com) and contains the episodes When You’ve Got to Go, My Brother and I, and Never Too Old, along with 30 minutes of behind-the-scenes interviews and extras.
