Somebody had that (The Dad's Army theme tune) as their ringtone. Where was I when I heard it?

Oh, yes. WH Smiths in Woolwich.

Ah yes, very good Max. Though you wondered when someone was going to spot your deliberate mistake, confusing the "Who do you think that you're kidding Mr Hitler" theme tune with the "wheee who whee whor whe whor badda badda ber bar di-di bah" incidental music used in the film whenever a filler scene was used with the gang marching from one place to asnother.

Ugh, sorry for that very forced Manneringism there!

Oh, yeah. Whatamistaykatomayka!

Stupid boy, Max.

Was DA the Movie shown after a couple of shows about comedy/sitcoms? On Saturday night?

If so, I think they're showing Rising Damp The Movie after them this week...

Not sure if Dad's Army: The Motion Picture was on recently, but its always a delight, even if nowhere near as delightful as the TV series.

Now Rising Damp, that was a fantastic show... theme tune was a bit rubbish mind.

It drove me mad some months back trying to find this out, though I'd suspected the film's composer Wilfred Burns.

However I've just seen the following confirmation on the Whispers From Walmington website:

"The music that was whistled by the platoon when marching and gradually get their uniform is the "Dads Army March" by Burns-Cole in 1971 on Columbia Records DB8766.

It was produced by Ray Cameron & Clive Dunn and arranged and conducted by Wilfred Burns."
