Performed over 3 nights from 22-24 November 2018, the D.A.D.S. cast took to the stage to perform Comedy Classics – a trio of classic British hits including Dad’s Army, Round the Horne and the Vicar of Dibley.
The first sketch was Dad’s Army, directed by Wendy Lockwood. Celebrating 50 years since Captain Mainwaring and his Home Guard first took on the defence of Walmington-on-Sea, D.A.D.S put on the ‘For the Love of Three Oranges’ episode which sees them helping to fundraise for “comforts for the troops”.
The next sketch was Round the Horne, directed by Phil Travis. Set in the Paris Studios in Lower Regent Street for the weekly recording of Round the Horne – covering a tale of intrepid derring-do, a tender hospital visit and a trip to the pet shop.
The last sketch was The Vicar of Dibley, directed by Louise Enticknap and Amanda Worpole. To mark the 650th anniversary of St Barnabus’s Church, the villagers set up a radio station for a week.
