Jonathan Ross? When?

Don't know what episode (late one I'd imagine). But he walks past the camera as part of the platoon. It's always on those 'before they were famous' shows.

He wasn't. IMDb claims he appeared in It Ain't Half Hot Mum though.

Damn my memory. That's correct. I just remember the soldiers outfit and immediately though of Dads Army. :$

I suppose Jonathan Ross in a uniform distracted you.

The thought of Ross being shot in the face distracted me. ;)

Me, me , me . . .

What episode/series is the one where the platoon get trapped behind a fence after trying to free one of the men? I saw the clip and it looked really good ? ?

Nooooooo. It's awful. Absolutely awful. The worst of the entire 9 series.

Happy 40th Birthday Dad's Army. :D

I have S1-5 on DVD. However, I had my DVD recorder for repairs on August 31st which meant that I couldn't start watching the first series on that date. :(

You only have the one? :O

No, I meant 1 to 5. The first five series! (I want to buy the rest as well!)

I meant DVD player...
