Our Captain Mainwaring,Mick Whitman,telling you to take the tour !

In May 2004 a Dad`s Army Trail was launched in Thetford.It showed the locations used during the filming of Dad`s Army.Several of the cast and the producers were in the town.The leaflet was largely written by Tony Pritchard of the Dad`s Army Appreciation Society and included a map of the trail,information on the show and a quiz.Many thousands were sent all over East Anglia.Later that year in response to requests,guided tours started,these were mainly for coach companies who brought visitors to the town for the tour and later took them onto Bressingham where they have had a Dad`s Army area since 2000.
