5.0 out of 5 stars Dad's Army Series 7, 3 Nov 2006
I am a huge fan of this marvellous series, but I do agree that it waned very slightly after the sad death of Jimmy Beck during the filming of series 6. While the performances of the other actors were as strong as ever in series 7, somehow the dynamic of the ensemble had lost that certain something that made it so magnificent. The Cheeseman character brought in didn't really work as a regular (and was dropped for Series 8) and without Walker, the platoon was missing a vital part. This is not to say that Series 7 is bad, far from it - even when not quite firing on all cylinders this wonderful programme still stands head and shoulders above all other TV comedies.

Watch with pleasure guaranteed but with also just a touch of sadness for the untimely death of Jimmy Beck. His passing not only robbed his family and this series of a fine actor, but denied the rest of us witnessing what he might have acheived had he lived.

4.0 out of 5 stars Time moves on for the veterans..., 25 Jul 2006
By W. J. Turton (The Midlands, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
By Series 7, Dad's Army was definitely enjoying its own unique Indian summer. Much of the magic had been lost but the original cast was still largely in evidence and their misadventures remained refreshing enough to still amuse and entertain.

However, as has been mentioned already, the series was certainly incomplete without James Beck as Walker. Talfryn Thomas as Cheeseman seemed an odd appendage, and his introduction to the platoon was unconvincing, his integration none existent. This, of course, is not a complaint at the man himself, but he was unsuited to continual involvement.

Also, the development of Pike changed the chemistry in his relationship with Mainwaring, and although this was to be expected as he grew older, his newfound cockiness is a surprise to the Pike we came to know and love from Series 1 through 6.

A gem on the DVD is a featurette on Arthur Lowe, a very accomplished actor by all regards. It is certainly interesting to see him talk (in later life), about his role in Dad's Army and to hear the opinions, views and recollections of the surviving cast members.

Overall, I think it fair to conclude that this remains a good purchase, and not only for the hardcore Dad's Army fan. Viewers merely need to adapt to the platoon's change of circumstances and enjoy the differences in the comedy they indulged in.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best series of the lot, 13 Aug 2006
By P. D. Mitchell (Yorkshire) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I'm afraid I cannot agree with the previous reviewers - for sheer consistency of funniness, this is the greatest Dad's Army series of them all, despite the sad loss of James Beck. No weak episodes here such as 'Round and Round went the Great Big Wheel' (Series 5) or 'The Royal Train' (Series 6).

The cast were the finest group of actors ever assembled for a sitcom and by this stage were at the peak of their powers, despite their advancing years. This fact, together with the sheer quality of the writing ["I'm not behaving like a dictator Wilson, I'm simply asking people to do as they're told" (A Man of Action)] makes this the definitive Dad's Army series. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
