These pages are dedicated to the hit BBC comedy series 'Dad's Army' which ran for nine years from 1968 until 1977. It spawned a full length feature film, a radio series and a musical stage show. 2008 marks the shows 40th anniversary and the Society's 15th.

The DAAS is run by a small group of individuals and has over 1500 members from all parts of the globe. The Society is dedicated to keeping the show alive and we have accumulated many rare items, including video and audio material, cine film and many on location photographs. Our collection is available for all members to borrow through our video and audio libraries. We have also collected information from a variety of people involved in the making of the series, including many local people involved in one way or another when they were filming, mainly around the Thetford area of Norfolk.

The Society produces a quarterly full colour newsletter for members and arranges an annual members dinner which has always been attended by several of the original cast, in addition to other events in the year.

The Society, in conjunction with The Bressingham Steam Museum, near Diss in Norfolk, set up the Dad's Army Collection which was officially opened on 14 May 2000 by the shows creators Jimmy Perry & David Croft. Here, in a full size representation of Walmington-on-Sea, many of our accumulated items are on display, along with some of the vehicles used in the series.

If you want to know more, we hope these pages will provide some background information, and if you are a fan already, I hope they will add to your enjoyment.
