the fiftieth anniversary of the first airing of Dad's Army, Snoad gave an interview for the BBC, in which they said "The director of many of the earliest episodes of Dad's Army, which is 50 years old, has said he doubts many of today's shows will last as long." He went on to say that "Nowadays comedies are not so much family-viewing." He has given a number of talks on cruise liners, mainly on the Queen Elizabeth 2 on the subject of television comedy.
