So this weekend the BC plays tribute, the writers each pick their fav episode, a couple of documentaries, and the Dads Army movie, which sadly does not live up to the show.

I'm not sure why this is, but the whole feel is different, maybe it's the lack of studio laughter, maybe its because the story revolving around a German invasion is too big, but something just doesnt feel the same.

Nice to see the BBC giving it recognision though.
