Earle described www.dadsarmy.tv ...
Should
a malevolent ITV exec steal the Beeb's precious Changing Rooms
tape, chances are Dad's Army would be played instead. This fansite
reveals all you never wanted to know about the perennial TV
standby, including details of all the vehicles used in the series
and film.
 Well,
we think that was complimentary (!)
Issue 35 of
Webuser also features useful articles on Buying CD's online,
killing unwanted Spam and Big Brother sites.

 New
DVD for Autumn 2002
3rd
August 2002
Autumn
2002 is going to be exciting for Dad's Army fans with a
further DVD of five episodes of Dad's Army from BBC Worldwide.
Scheduled
for release on September 30th The Very Best of Dad's Army
Volume 2 features the following episodes...
No Spring
For Frazer - Oops! Frazer's lost the spring from Captain
Mainwaring's machine gun. Could be tricky if he's dropped it
into Mr Blewitt's coffin...
Mum's
Army - Captain Mainwaring's recruiting women-folk to join
the fight against the common foe. Frazer's making a lot of noise
about firm-bodied lassies with big strong thighs, but it's the
Captain who's about to make a fool of himself...
Menace
From The Deep - "Gawd help Walmington-on-Sea"
- the Home Guard is manning the machine gun post at the end
of the peir. Pike's lost the boat and the food, Frazer can hear
the cry of ancient mariners in the deep...and the Platoon is
nearly blown to Kingdom Come. Just an average day in Walmington-on-Sea!
When
Did You Last See your Money? - It's business as usual at
the bank...that is until Jones tries to pay 1/2 lb of sausages
into his account! Questions must be asked! Like, just where
is Jones' canteen money? Could it be in Mr Blewitt's chicken?
And how did Mr Blewitt manage to get such a big chicken anyway?
The Honourable
Man - A relation of Sergeant Wilson has died, which puts
him on the outer fringes of the aristocracy - much to Mainwaring's
exasperation! When a hero of the Soviet Union arrives for an
important ceremony in Walmington-on-Sea, Mainwaring, determined
to mastermind the proceedings, reminds Wilson that three pips
on a common shoulder are more prestigious than three stripes
on an honourable man.
The BBC have
only released one previous Dad's Army DVD as of yet, more
information of that and how to get it are here!
