Statue to commemorate 'Dad's Army'
A statue to commemorate classic comedy Dad's Army could be built in the Norfolk town where the series was filmed.

A councillor in Thetford plans to erect a monument to Captain Mainwairing, leader of the fictional Walmington-on-Sea Home Guard in the BBC show.

Stuart Wright, 42, is a huge fan of the programme and said he wants to remember the work of the real platoons during the Second World War.

He aims to raise £20,000 to fund the bronze replica of Mainwairing, who was played by actor Arthur Lowe between 1968 and 1977.
