This week's episode of War Movie Theatre is our most popular yet. Join me and Matt Chorley as we discuss why Dad's Army has lasted, why Captain Mainwaring really is a hero, and why Arthur Lowe had a trousers clause in his contract.

Don't Panic! Don't Panic! This week, we're watching Dad's Army - The Movie (very much the 1971 version), with International Man of Comedy @mattchorley.bsky.social.

Hi Mark, sorry I missed this. I’m not attacking anyone. Not my job. But if you think the Tories were never the subject of criticism, mockery or leadership speculation, including on my shows/columns, you weren’t paying attention
West End baby! I’m now bringing Making A Meal Of It to London in the incredible Cambridge Theatre, where Matilda is on. See you on Monday November 10.

Had a great time talking to @mattchorley.bsky.social with @profjanegreen.bsky.social about our @politicalquarterly.bsky.social paper today!
👂📻 You can listen to it here, from 1:07:00 www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...
Thank you!
Tony, my show has a range of views on it, and yesterday’s discussion came from two long-serving political journalists drawing on years of experience covering Westminster. What you’ve linked to was written by someone who openly describes themselves as “active in politics, in the Labour Party”
My surname is a source of great pride for me.
I know it can be a mouthful, and it isn't the easiest to spell. I was even advised by some senior politicians to shorten it.
However as I told @mattchorley.bsky.social earlier - that was simply never an option. #HolocaustMemorialDay
Incredible interview with Nicholas Soames to mark 60 years since his grandfather’s death.
LISTEN AGAIN www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...
Thank you Keith
Thanks Jonathan - was a real treat putting it together, rootling thrive the archives to find the audio from the service
Completely riveting interview with Nicholas Soames, telling @mattchorley.bsky.social about the funeral of his grandfather Winston Churchill who died 60 years ago today. A perfect piece of broadcasting. It’s 1hr 6mins in www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...
OTD in 1965 Churchill died
Incredible interview with Nicholas Soames on walking behind the coffin of the war leader he called “grandpa”
Today from 3pm on @bbc5live.bsky.social
We’re going to have to respectfully disagree on this. Some people like Tory voices, some don’t. We have a responsibility to provide a range of voices, and the experience of people who have been in government can be useful as part of the mix. Have a good evening
