Hundreds gather to watch filming of Dad's Army in Bridlington
HUNDREDS of people gathered in Bridlington as the new Dad's Army movie was filmed in the town.
The production team has tranformed the Old Town into the fictional Walmington-on-Sea, for the wartime film.
On Saturday, cast members including Bill Nighy, Toby Jones, Sir Tom Courteney and Sir Michael Gambon joined more than 300 extras to create a St George's Day parade in the High Street.
The new film, directed by Oliver Parker, will feature the popular Home Guard characters along with a journalist, played by Catherine Zeta-Jones, who is sent to write about their exploits.
The original TV show ran from 1968 to 1977, attracting 18 million viewers at its height, and the original cast made a film version in 1971.
