BBC\u2019s beloved comedy series Dad\u2019s Army will make a return to screens with a string of salvaged episodes.<\/p>\n

Five lost early programmes will be released on DVD and air on UKTV Gold.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

However, the classic former BBC One comedy show will be returning in the form of new animated specials.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Dad's Army aired between 1968 and 1977, with the BBC broadcasting nine seasons with 84 episodes and seven Christmas specials.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The programme became one of the most beloved\u00a0British sitcoms of all time.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, not all the episodes survived in the original format.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Five early original episodes, which are some of the most sought-after of all lost television programmes, were presumed lost forever after the broadcaster never formally archived them.<\/p>\n

Dad's Army – The Missing Episodes will feature all-new hand-drawn animated episodes synced up to the archived voices of the original actors Arthur Lowe, John Le Mesurier, Clive Dunn, John Laurie, Bill Pertwee and Arnold Ridley<\/p>\n

The audio-only recordings, which survived for all five classics, have been used as the basis for the new animated episodes.<\/p>\n

Also included in the series are exclusive special features – including previously unreleased archive film and a new making of documentary.\u00a0<\/p>\n
