<p>Few British sitcoms are as warmly remembered as&nbsp;<em>Dad’s Army</em>, and&nbsp;<strong>“The Deadly Attachment”</strong>&nbsp;— originally transmitted in&nbsp;<strong>1973</strong>&nbsp;— remains one of its most beloved episodes. In this episode of&nbsp;<em>The Problematic Gaze</em>, we return to Walmington-on-Sea as the Home Guard are tasked with guarding a German U-boat crew.</p><p>While we do explore some&nbsp;<strong>problematic elements through a modern lens</strong>, we also talk about what&nbsp;<em>Dad’s Army</em>&nbsp;gets right, why its characters and catchphrases — including the iconic&nbsp;<strong>“Don’t tell him, Pike!”</strong>&nbsp;— still resonate, and how its gentle satire, performances, and wartime humour helped make it a classic worth revisiting with affection and thoughtful context.</p><p><a href="https://linktr.ee/theproblematicgaze" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Click here to follow us on all our socials</a></p><br><p>Don't forget to hit that FOLLOW button to get every episode of The Problematic Gaze downloaded and ready to listen!</p><br><p>Please leave us a review wherever you get your podcasts.
