[Sophie Crane · Rating 5 out of 5]

Received this this morning. Very pleased to have received it. The title is slightly misleading, as it contains all the scripts from Series 1-9! This is the first time that all nine series scripts have been published in one volume!

An added bonus are the memories of past and present actors. There are many of these throughout the book. We also get to read about how some scripts were changed, and how the actors got on! I'll not say any more, but this book is really enthralling. A must have for Dad's Army fans!
It consists of 880 pages, and is paperback.

A good insight into the scripts,characters and people behind the scenes.

Interesting to watch the programmes at the same time as reading the scripts to see how the actors would make some changes.

A must fit Dad's Army fans.
