Dad's Army

We took Monty to Wimpole Hall today (with thoughts of some nice Autumn shots) but the beautiful blue sky disappeared as we drove up the path and somehow all of my pictures look dull. The place was packed as there was a 1940's event going on. This troop of chaps was busy executing an 'about turn' - or trying to!! There was a lot of general moaning going on about marching on gravel and it did look quite hard work!

So typical!

[lesley allen]

Great timeless comedy program, loved it, I think most of the cast are not around anymore. (they do look a bit out of step and pigeon toed)

[Arthur Loosley]

Wonderful!

[Pat Knowles]

This so reminds me of Dads Army , Captain Mannering , Pike etc !! I bet these old boys were loving it despite the grumbling !!!

[Rob]

Stupid boy Pike, I love it :-) It looks like you had a good time.

[Judith Greenwood]

@decani 'Vot is your name boy?' 'Don't tell him Pike!' Marvellous!

[Hamble]

So funny! I can tell they hadn't been in the army themselves!
