Dad’s Army, the feature film based on the much-loved iconic British comedy, will march into cinemas on 5th February. Directed by BAFTA award-winning director Oliver Parker, the film brings together a stellar, award- winning British cast and has been written for the big screen by Hamish McColl and produced by Damian Jones.
It is 1944 and World War II is reaching its climax. The Allies are poised to invade France and finally defeat the German army. But in Walmington-on-Sea morale amongst the Home Guard is low. Their new mission then – to patrol the Dover army base – is a great chance to revive spirits and reputation, that is until glamorous journalist Rose Winters arrives to write about their exploits, setting the pulses racing and putting the local women on red alert. MI5 then discover a radio signal sent direct to Berlin from Walmington-on-Sea. There’s a spy on the loose! The outcome of the war is suddenly at stake, and it falls to our unlikely heroes to stand up and be counted.
Dad’s Army’s all-star British cast includes Bill Nighy as Wilson, Catherine Zeta Jones as Rose, Toby Jones as Captain Mainwaring, Tom Courtenay as Corporal Jones, Michael Gambon as Godfrey, Blake Harrison as Pike, Daniel Mays as Walker, Bill Paterson as Fraser, Sarah Lancashire, Alison Steadman, Mark Gatiss and Annette Crosbie. They are joined by Felicity Montagu, Julia Foster, Holli Dempsey, Oliver Tobias and Emily Atack.
