Just feel lucky to have been alive to see this wonderful series. Along with Fawlty Towers it has to be the gem of British TV Comedy. |

The episode where Lowe plays Mainwaring's drunken waster of a brother and calls him 'po face' is excellent TV.
I like Dad's Army, but it occasionally misses the drama and melancholy of war. That episode is the closest it gets to it. |

Yes, I love seeing Ian Lavender struggle to control himself when Arthur Lowe delivers that line so well. (I've got a recording of Lowe reading the delightful Diary of a Nobody - he's brilliant!) |

I'm one of those who think "Don't tell him Pike" is, for some reason, the funniest moment ever on TV. |

Poor, poor, man, Jake. After his Dad's death he got off heroin, lived for a while with his step-mum in Spain, then met a young girl in Barcelona who got him back on heroin. He was found with a needle in his arm, dead, in his flat. She'd robbed him, too. The other son, Robin, is now Johnny Halliday's lead guitarist and MD - a really lovely bloke. |
