Dad’s Army is a British sitcom about the Home
Guard during the Second World War. It was written
by Jimmy Perry and David Croft and broadcast
on BBC television between 1968 and 1977.

The Home Guard consisted of local volunteers
otherwise ineligible for military service,
either owing to age or by being in professions
that were exempt from conscription.

In 2004, Dad’s Army was voted into fourth place in a BBC
poll to find Britain’s Best Sitcom. It had been placed
13th in a list of the 100 Greatest British Television
Programmes drawn up by the British Film Institute.
