Death of Frank Williams (the vicar in Dad's Army)

[Humphrey Hacker]

To be honest they could have found a better tribute than that film, which was subject to a lot of studio interference at the time and nobody who appeared on screen was particularly happy with the end result.  Its probably best seen as an introduction of some sort to the series, even though it sort of breaks the canon set up by the TV show.

The whole TV series was basically one large flashback which was set up in the very first episode, though they soon forgot about that as it was tacked on to appease Paul Fox at the time.

I remember reading a book about Dad’s Army and there was a section on a potential sequel. It was about the platoon being despatched to patrol elsewhere and uncovering a nazi plot based in a stately home. Laurence Oliver was planned to be the chief villain.

From Wikipedia

“Discussions were held about a possible sequel, to be called Dad's Army and the Secret U-Boat Base, but the project never came to fruition.[8] A second film was released in 2016 with an almost entirely new cast, also titled Dad's Army.”
