The Home Guard consisted of local volunteers otherwise ineligible for military service, either because of age (hence the nickname "Dad's Army") or by being in professions exempt from conscription. <i>Dad's Army</i> deals almost exclusively with over age men, and featured older British actors, including <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Lowe" style="background: none; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Arthur Lowe">Arthur Lowe</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Le_Mesurier" style="background: none; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="John Le Mesurier">John Le Mesurier</a>,<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arnold_Ridley" style="background: none; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Arnold Ridley">Arnold Ridley</a> and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Laurie" style="background: none; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="John Laurie">John Laurie</a>.
