Abstract
The new Dad’s Army film is a celebration of two historic British institutions: the relatively short-lived military force, the Home Guard, that played a key role in Britain’s defence during World War II, and the much-loved TV sitcom that ran from 1968-1977, which has enjoyed such regular repeats that it hasn’t much left the screen. While the show followed the domestic escapades of Captain Mainwaring and his ageing band of brothers, women didn’t much feature. With the new cinematic offering, there are now some women in the frame.
