Creator of ITV drama Victoria says BBC should ‘retire’ Dad’s Army because it makes them look pro-Brexit

The creator of ITV drama Victoria says the BBC should stop airing episodes of Dad’s Army because it makes them look pro-Brexit.

Daisy Goodwin insists the classic sitcom, which is still watched by millions every Saturday, should be “retired.”

She said: “If you really want to nail the BBC for influencing the nation’s state of mind about Brexit, you might look at how often Dad’s Army has been shown.

“That plucky little arrow from the title sequence being pushed back across the Channel by the three swastikas seems to have inspired the Brexit Party’s own logo.

“The world of Dad’s Army is a comforting place; it was reassuring during the mayhem of the three-day week and it’s soothing to those of us who worry about the effects of a no-deal Brexit.

“Our current difficulties will not be resolved with a comic flourish. The BBC, if it wants to maintain its claim to impartiality, needs to retire the Home Guard.”

  1. Well there's a surprise, the BBC's bias is now damning it's own popular programmes. Silly beggars.
