** In a positive example, BBC Head of Comedy Michael Mills changed the title from ''The Fighting Tigers'' to ''Dad's Army'' and suggested that David Croft co-write the series with Jimmy Perry. He also cast Creator/JohnLeMesurier as Sgt Wilson, changed the town's name to Walmington-on-Sea and renamed a few characters: Jim Jones became Jack Jones, James Duck became James Frazer (and also became Scottish), and Joe Fish became Joe Walker.
** In another positive example, the opening titles were originally going to show real footage of soldiers in UsefulNotes/WorldWarII, but BBC executives objected to this, fearing it was insensitive and could be seen as mockery of those who served in the war. So they were changed to the now iconic animation of a British flag advancing and retreating across Europe.

** Miss King was added to Series 1 as the BBC executives insisted the series needed a pretty girl. After Series 1 didn't do too well, Series 2's budget was cut, and the executives removed Miss King from the series after being the ones to insist on her in the first place.

* MissingEpisode: Until 2001, "Sgt Wilson's Little Secret" was the only known surviving episode from Series 2.

* EditedForSyndication: Later screenings of season five's "Keep Young and Beautiful" have heavily re-edited the scene where Pike, Walker and Godfrey try to pick a volunteer to go into the office to have a look at Captain Mainwaring's new wig, and Pike recites a version of "Eeny, meeny, miny, moe" which includes the racial slur "nigger" in the second line, with Walker getting the 'moe'; Walker then continues the rhyme, "O-U-T spells out, you must go", so Pike ends up being 'it' instead. In the revised version, only the rhyme's opening line is spoken by Pike before he points to Walker and says "It's you, go on." The scene appears intact on the DVD release.
