Our journey through classic war cinema brings us to the 1971 big screen spin-off of one of the most successful BBC sitcoms ever. BBC Radio 5's Matt Chorley, a man who knows a thing or two about jokes, joins Rob to explore what a comedy about a bunch of geriatric misfits tells us about Britain in 1940, the 1960s and 70s, and even today. Why did Arthur Lowe have a clause in his contract about his trousers? What did the Home Guard really do? And which member of the cast really had been stabbed with a bayonet? Perfect for fans of cinema history, war film analysis, and classic war movies.</p><p><br></p><p>Next week: The Last of the Mohicans (1992)</p>","author_name":"Robert Hutton & Duncan Weldon - War Movies Fans"}
