This is an episode from the Saturday-night (feel good) TV programme entitled ‘Seaside Special’ – broadcast on the BBC. This is Episode 6 from Series 1 – and was filmed along the seafront in Torbay – not far from where my parent’s have lived from 2002 onwards. Having watched through every aspect of the DVD Boxset (2009) of Dad’s Army (over 70 episodes, 1 Feature Film, 3 Xmas Specials and a number of documentaries and mini-features) – including all the extras (one or two featuring Arthur Lowe appearing on Blue Peter as Captain Mainwaring) – I can confirm that this clip is not included.
Dad’s Army ran for 9 series and 80 episodes between 1968-1977. The 8th series of Dad’s Army ran between 5.9.1975-10.10.1975 (containing 6 episode) – with this appearance by two of its stars happening just one-day before the second episode was broadcast! Indeed, there would be NO Dad’s Army series for 1976 except for a Xmas Special. This had happened before when there was NO Dad’s Army series for 1971 – except for a Xmas Special – but this year also featured a cinema film for the cast! The year 1975 would feature both a Dad’s Army series AND a Xmas Special!
