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

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!

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.

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
