What Dad's Army Is About
The film covers the formation of a volunteer defence platoon in a seaside town during the Second World War: men too old, too unfit or otherwise not called up, without even proper weapons. The force was real; close to a million men served in such platoons in Britain and, with invasion expected, they counted as the last line of defence. That is where the comedy comes from, the least capable people at the most serious moment. The BBC series behind it is one of Britain's best loved comedies, while the film, assembled from early episodes, is usually thought weaker.
