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.
