Dad's Army remake audience cheered at catchphrase

An audience invited to watch the remake of a lost episode of Dad's Army had to be told not to stand up and cheer at the anti-German joke: "They don't like it up 'em!" David Hayman, who plays doom-laden Private Frazer in the Gold remake, was stunned by their reaction and compared them to Brexiteers.

Fisherman's Friends review

Anyone who's listened to the Fisherman's Friends, whether live or on the radio in the car, will know what a treat they are to listen to, and the film is a fine platform for their talents. The injection of a rather soppy romance and some drama about big businessmen buying a pub does distract, but when the film turns its focus solely on the titular musicians, it's a dead cert to entertain existing fans and win over plenty more.
