Marching on: Leslie Grantham plays the Cockney spiv (Click the image to play video)
Leslie Grantham is at Bradford's Alhambra Theatre this week starring in a stage adaptation of tv-favourite "Dad's Army".
The ex-Eastender is once again donning the role of the shady Private Walker, to celebrate the seventieth anniversary of the Home Guard. The production showcases four of writers Jimmy Perry and David Croft's favourite programmes from the series, including Branded and Mum's Army.
Another would-be-hero of Walmington-on-Sea, Captain Mainwaring, is brought to life by Timothy Kightley, who won praise from critics for his previous stint in the role. The rest of the cast, who previously brought to life the Lost Episodes, have also been dusting off their medals before gracing the Alhambra's stage this week.
Grantham has been making the most of his time in the city, and between rehearsals he managed to squeeze in a trip to the Eastenders exhibition just next door to the Alhambra at the National Media Museum.
He will be performing alongside the rest of the cast until Saturday.
