Ronnie Scott and Shaun Sewell

Actor Ian Lavender - fondly remembered by millions as Private Pike in Dad’s Army joins Ronnie Scott and Shaun Sewell - who brought us the diaries of Thomas Cairns Livingstone in Tommy’s War and Tommy’s Peace, and now the war diaries of Col Rodney Foster in The Real ‘Dad’s Army’ - to talk about the fiction and the fact of the Home Guard in World War II. Includes clips from Dad’s Army, one of the most successful television shows ever made and which remains as popular today as it was at the start. ​
