    If the Dads Army movie is a success?

    The Dads Army film will be released in February with an all star cast. If it is a success then can people see Last of the Summer Wine being given the movie treatment at some point in the future? There is certainly no doubt that more and more films are being aimed at the silver demographic now.

    Re-used ideas in the show?
