i have to say that some of the other review of this film i have read show very little understanding of it or the original tv series it stem from . dad army be a sitcom and therefore have humour and so be bind to have put a smile on the face of the dire situation . however the series carry very many serious message such a the episode brand about the bigotry and ignorance that be attach to conscientious objector . the film be faithful to the series and be simply like an extended episode . so i be afraid the reviewer who claim that columbia improve the humour be quite wrong and let face it the bbc sitcom of this period beat anything that come out of america hand down . also comment refer to propaganda be also way off the mark . the homeguard be people consider unfit for frontline service who still wish to serve . they be very brave men who know they be sentence to death as soon a they sign up a hitler announce that anyone who do so would be execute if and when britain be invade . thank you for allow me the opportunity to set the record straight a it be always good to actually speak and comment on what have be see rather make it up a you go along i find .
