West will join Dad’s Army
SCREEN veteran Timothy West is replacing Bernard Cribbins in the Dad’s
Army remake after the actor stepped down from his role.
Three episodes of the TV comedy about the British Home Guard during the Second World War are being recreated, and Cribbins was due to star as Private Godfrey, originally played by Arnold Ridley.
Cribbins has left the project for personal reasons and West, 84, is taking over. No more details were given.
Dad’s Army: The Lost Episodes will go out on Gold later this year.
