The location shots for the Dad`s Army museum were filmed in and around the town of Thetford from 1968 until 1977. There is very little to show that the BBC were in the town apart from a small display in the Bell Hotel. In 2004 the Dad`s Army Trail was launched and in 2005 a DVD called Extra Time was made. Following the donation of photographs a request was made to the town Council for storage space.They allowed the use of a small building at the rear of the Guildhall (which featured in 2 episodes).After a lot of hard work the museum was opened to the public on Friday December 7th 2007 by the producer of Dad`s Army,David Croft.
