High & Dry is a 1987 British television sitcom written by Harold Snoad (using the pseudonym Alan Sherwood, as he was then contracted to the BBC) and Michael Knowles. The series, produced by Ronnie Baxter for Yorkshire Television, starred Bernard Cribbins, Richard Wilson, Angus Barnett and Vivienne Martin. It was a television adaptation of the BBC radio series It Sticks Out Half a Mile, a sequel to Dad's Army.
Following a pilot episode for BBC Television broadcast in 1985 under the title Walking the Planks, the writers took the concept to the ITV company. Only one series was made.
