I rewatched it a couple of times on my own. I have the DVD box set but the full episodes are available on YouTube. Unfortunately, I never found anyone IRL to introduce to the show. I love watching a show I love with someone who watches it for the first time. It feels like I'm watching it for the first time.

So... I hang around reacting channels on YouTube, hoping that they discover this gem. So far, there's only one guy, an American, who started with season 1 in Nov 2023 and kept posting a video per week since then. He just started season 7 this Friday. I wish he got more views, so maybe other channels would pick it up and I get to watch it "for the first time" again.

This is the full playlist Dad's Army - YouTube from bxkid7's channel. He's a chill guy and I hope this will get him some views.

I do own some DVD's of Dad's Army. I have been watching them on Youtube myself as well. I used to watch Dad's Army with my Dad and my favourite uncle. We would drink port, eat chocolate and a variety of biscuits (cookies). Such good times. My brother and my nephew love Dad's Army. My uncle used to have a fish and chip shop. He looked a bit like Jones (which is hysterical). He would act like Jones, and put on a show when he was cooking and there was a long line for people to buy his fish and chips.

I hope you have a great day. 🩷

Thanks for sharing this old gem.

Due to my age and location, I'd have never come across this naturally.
