It Sticks Out Half A Mile : Unaired Pilot

It Sticks Out Half A Mile is an unaired pilot for a BBC Radio Comedy featuring Arthur Lowe and John Le Mesurier. This pilot serves as a sequel to the beloved series Dad's Army, crafted by the same writers who adapted the television scripts for radio.

Tragically, following the recording of this pilot, Arthur Lowe passed away, leading to a re-casting and significant changes in the show's format before it could be developed into a series. Consequently, this pilot episode was never broadcast. Although the BBC discarded it, a cassette copy was preserved by the writers, ensuring that this unique piece of radio history survived.

This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.
