A radio version of the British television sitcom Dad's Army was broadcast on BBC Radio 4 from 1974 to 1976. Produced by John Dyas and written by Harold Snoad and Michael Knowles, the scripts were adapted from the television episodes written by Jimmy Perry and David Croft. A total of 67 episodes across three series were broadcast from 28 January 1974 to 7 July 1976. The series starred the same actors who appeared in the television version, playing the same characters. Although most episodes of the television series were adapted for radio, several were not, as they were deemed too visual. All episodes from the ninth television series were not adapted, as the radio series had ended by the time those television episodes were broadcast. At the request of the producer, some episode titles were changed from their television equivalents in order to sound more concise. The radio series was recorded in London; early episodes were recorded at the Playhouse Theatre, while the remaining episodes were recorded at the Paris Studios. John Snagge served as the show’s announcer. (Full list...)

Today's featured picture

The Conspiracy of Claudius Civilis is an oil painting by the Dutch painter Rembrandt, produced around 1661–62. It depicts an episode from Tacitus's Histories of the Batavian rebellion (AD 69–70), led by the one-eyed chieftain Claudius Civilis. The painting was commissioned by the city council of Amsterdam for the Town Hall, and was originally Rembrandt's largest-ever painting. It was placed briefly in the town hall but eventually returned to Rembrandt, who may never have been paid for the work. In financial difficulties, he was forced to cut the painting down in size and partly repaint it, after which it was sold. After passing between various private owners, it was eventually deposited in the Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts, and is now in the collection of the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm.
