New Release
Jones’s Van ‘The Journey’
A new 66 page book charting the history of the iconic vehicle from its manufacture in Dagenham through its life in London before and after the war to its time as the platoon’s vehicle in Dad’s Army. The book gives more information about its other film and TV appearances as well as its post show history before residing in the Patrick Motor Museum for 20 years and then finally making its way ‘home’ to Walmington-on-Sea in Thetford.
The book is priced at £10 and can be purchased from the Dad’s Army Museum shop.
Created by Robin Carr & Roy Gould, and inspired by characters created by David Croft & Jimmy Perry for 'You Rang, M’Lord?'
When last we saw James Twelvetrees and Ivy Teasdale they had left the employment of the financially shaken House of Meldrum. They
were in a seaside resort, with plans to become business partners. And
this is where our series begins: with James, as pompous as ever, and Ivy
doing most of the work, running Whispering Palms, their boarding house
by the sea…
JEFFREY HOLLAND and SU POLLARD recreate
their original roles, in this affectionate and nostalgic resurrection of
the feel-good world of the Croft & Perry sitcom.
Available as a download only to buy and keep - only £30 for the whole series via the link below.
A Message from Nicolas Ridley
In the past Dad's Army fans have been kind enough to show interest in my stage plays, fiction and nonfiction which is why I thought you wouldn't mind my making contact to share this update on my new website; https://nicolasridley.co.uk
It's pretty straightforward - nothing too flashy at this stage - but it provides details of my full-length, one-act and short plays plus my published fiction and nonfiction.
In many instances the scripts and texts are available to be read on sceen or - if you wish - to download, print read as hard copy (although naturally I or my publishers retain the copyright).
The website will continue to be developed and there will be updates from time to time. If you'd like to be kept in touch, please use the contact form. All comments and suggestions will be very welcome.
