00:01Captain Mallory, we have discovered something exciting.

00:04The female characters are much stronger in the film

00:08than they were in the original series.

00:10What sort of language is that? German dance.

00:12We really do up the stakes in this

00:14with the introduction of Catherine's character Rose.

00:16She really comes in and messes things up for the guys.

00:21Thank you, Walker.

00:23In comes an Associated Press journalist to do an article

00:27specifically on the Home Guard for Lady magazine.

00:30Us? In a real magazine?

00:32We're going out in a world landscape, eh?

00:34You know, she's incredibly beautiful, she's incredibly glamorous

00:37and the way that she is able to play Mannering and Wilson off of one another.

00:42What a remarkable thing.

00:44So you can imagine these men who are waiting here in Warmington-on-Sea

00:48have some celebrity status all of a sudden.

00:52Always in the stories, you're looking for something

00:54that's going to expose everyone's foibles.

00:57And bringing a beautiful woman in with her own agenda

01:01allows everyone to be exposed in, I hope, very funny ways.

01:06The female characters are very much in the background in the teleseries

01:09and part of the charm is you never really see Mrs. Mannering.

01:12And it's almost sacrilegious, I know, to give her full form.

01:15Attention to detail, ladies.

01:18At the same time, it does push the characters around in a different way.

01:21Wonderful sight.

01:24Man and woman united in common course.

01:27And we've got Mrs. Fox, my lovely new friend Alison Steadman.

01:31I saw that, Jack Jones. You just slipped her a sausage.

01:34I didn't mean nothing by it.

01:36My other lovely new friend, Sarah Lancashire.

01:39It's a joy to be with such gifted people.

01:42Fire!

01:43Fire!

01:44Ah!

01:45Oh!

01:46Oh!

01:47Oh!

01:48Oh!

01:49Oh!
