Kevin McNally and Robert Bathurst to star in new version of Dad's Army

Kevin McNally and Robert Bathurst will play Captain Mainwaring and Sergeant Wilson in Dad's Army - The Lost Episodes.

British Comedy Guide, 9th November 2018

Unlike the recently rebooted Porridge and Are You Being Served?, this rejuvenated BBC sitcom actually has a point to it: it's a loving and spot-on recreation of a missing Hancock radio episode from 1956, in which the Lad Himself (Kevin McNally) and co convince themselves their new neighbour is a serial killer. There's a real potency to it, too - it was originally broadcast only three years after the grisly, real-life discoveries at 10 Rillington Place.
