Don't Panic! The Unauthorised Dad's Army Handbook

By Hayden Gribble

For nearly six decades the adventures of the Walmington-on-Sea Home Guard has delighted generations of viewers. Classic quotes such as "Don't tell him Pike!" have been copied time and again as more and more people have tuned in through repeats that continue to this day.

In this unofficial book, through an in-depth episode guide, favourite lines, memorable moments, behind-the-scenes stories from the people who made the programme and much more, author Hayden Gribble discovers what really makes Dad's Army one of British television's greatest creations.
