The classic BBC sitcom would be revamped for the big screen and could feature a female Captain Mainwaring, according to The Independent.  The show&amp;#039;s co-creator Jimmy Perry - who wrote the series with the late David Croft - is &amp;quot;in the midst of discussions&amp;quot; about the project, according to his agent Lynda Ronan. The original Dad&amp;#039;s Army - which followed the British military&amp;#039;s Home Guard during the Second World War - aired on BBC One between July 31, 1968 and November 13, 1977 and starred Arthur Lowe as the pompous Captain George Mainwaring. A feature film spinoff was filmed between the show&amp;#039;s third and fourth series and was released in the UK and US in 1971.
