One of the greatest of British sitcoms, Dad's Army ran for 80 episodes from 1968 to 1977.

Including possibly the strongest cast of actors of any British sitcom, the characters are still remembered fondly by several generations.

The pompous Mainwaring, the smug Wilson, the paranoid Jones, the cynical Frazer, the immature Pike, the spivvy Walker, the gentle Godfrey, and the power-crazed Hodges - all characters that have endured.

Why a sitcom about the Home Guard should remain so popular, so many years after the Second World War ended, when some comedy from the '60s and '70s seems dated, is probably down to the timeless humour of funny situations, which is why Laurel and Hardy are still popular. And, of course, the strength and timeless relevance of the characters.
