DON’T PANIC! DAD’S ARMY COMES TO NORTH MOLTON
Captain Mainwaring, Sergeant Wilson and the rest of the Home Guard are marching to North Molton’s Victory Hall this month, for what promises to be a hilarious production of the popular BBC sitcom ‘Dad’s Army’.
The performances are courtesy of North Molton Amateur Dramatics Society (NOMADS) and features all the much-loved characters and catch-phrases!
This year not only marks the 80th anniversary of D Day, it’s the centenary of North Molton’s Victory Hall, as well as being 40 years since NOMADS was formed. The play is directed by former GB News reporter Jeff Moody. “It felt like the perfect time to recreate Britain’s favourite sitcom,” he says. “I have brilliant memories of watching Dad’s

Army with my parents back in the ‘70s and I l’m loving reconnecting with these legends.”
Mick Buckley plays the pompous Captain Mainwaring. “It’s daunting taking on such a familiar role,” said Mick. “But it’s such a good script and I’m loving the challenge.”
Gail Ratcliffe is playing Mainwaring’s love interest, Mrs Gray. “There’s a great atmosphere in rehearsals (pictured above). Everyone’s really enthusiastic and there’s a lot of laughter!” she said.
