Authenticity is vital to Perry, who remembers the time he was at Rada, rehearsing with fellow actors, when a secret onlooker turned out to be George Bernard Shaw. “He said, ‘I enjoyed your show tremendously. I laughed a lot. But you’ve got to understand one rule of comedy: you must have reality, otherwise it’s rubbish.’” In any case, thanks to its successful repeats Dad’s Army is guaranteed immortality. But to what does Perry attribute our enduring love of Captain Mainwaring and co? “It’s because we reminded the British people of their finest hour. It had wobbly back projection and cardboard scenery, but also the truth… and great artists that brought it to life.”
Simon Blackwell ‘To create comedy that generations of people genuinely love is rare, and he managed it time and again’. Perry’s work on the show - along with that of the producer, David Croft - created one of the most popular British television programmes of all time’.
Jack Dee ‘Amazing contribution to British telly. Watched Dad's Army only yesterday. Still as funny as when I watched it as a kid.’
Vicki Michelle ‘a brilliant comedy writer & true gentleman. He leaves us such a legacy’
Ian Lavender ‘Jimmy, he has been a part of my life for such a long time. ‘He was half of one amazing partnership, it brings back so many wonderful memories… lots of good times together with much laughter…’
David Schneider ‘Thanks to Jimmy Perry for the sublime Dad’s Army, the perfect sitcom, and for making me laugh for over 40 years.’
Shane Allen, BBC controller of comedy commissioning, said: ‘Jimmy Perry is a Goliath of British comedy writing. His work will be enjoyed and appreciated for many years to come’.
Miranda Hart ‘Thank you Jimmy Perry. You made our world a funnier and brighter place.’
Nigel Farage tweeted: Jimmy Perry created and co-wrote the fantastic Dad's Army, my favourite comedy of all time.'
Tom Watson 'We grew up laughing at Jimmy Perry's hilarious characters. One of our greatest TV writers who will not be forgotten.'
Ruth Madoc ‘Being on set was quite hard work, but great fun. We weren’t allowed to laugh. One particular series we’d been naughty giggling on set. This didn’t go down very well with David and Jimmy, so they made us T-shirts saying, ‘Comedy is a serious business’. We were told in no uncertain terms’.
Frank Williams “Dad’s Army was one of the happiest periods of my life, it was a wonderful role to work on.”
TV comedy producer Jon Plowman said, “The quality of his work was consistently brilliant”, adding that Jimmy and his co-writer David Croft came as a package. He described them as “comedy revolutionaries”, saying, “They made it look easy; we know it is not.”
Chris Jarvis ‘this sitcoms are pure gold & will live on.’
Jeffrey Holland ‘There is no doubt that he and David created some of the most memorable and iconic characters and moments in television sitcom history and as such, has left us with a wonderful legacy we can look back on for many years to come. I am proud to have been a part of so many of his series’.
Mark Braxton ‘There is a light that never goes out - and its name is Jimmy Perry’
Perry admits to being bowled over by the continuing success of his Home Guard comedy: “Isn’t it amazing? Let me tell you, I’m overwhelmed.”
Appointed an OBE in 1978, Jimmy Perry published his autobiography, A Stupid Boy, in 2002 and received a British Comedy award for lifetime achievement in 2003.

Thank God we're still able to watch these brilliant comedy series still. Dads army is a British classic.
I watch this show as an antidote to the current descent into insanity of this sorry world.
Aren't we all... have a good one!
Indeed
So well said!!
Hear hear!
Spot on
My grandfather got me into watching Dad's Army when i was a child and I've loved watching it ever since. Looking back at the old days when Britain use to be called Great Britain i feel great sadness and shame of how Britain has fallen from glory. Churchill would turn in his grave if he was slive today.
I often watch an episode of Dad's Army as a break from this depressing world
Check out lowe in POTTER..it's greatness!
RIP the last of the fantastic bunch! Ian Lavender. Private Pike. Stupid Boy! Lovely Man! God bless them all.
Don't tell them your name Pike.😂
He loved that Tommy Gun
Scary...
Never get sick of these, Im in my 40s now, used to watch these repeated every early evening on Australian tv in the 90s when I was a teen. The blustering Mainwaring, overly casual Wilson and comically soldiering Jones never failed to make the half hour fly
RIP Ian Lavender 16 Feb 1946 -6 Feb 2024

Aw no, he was the last surviving cast member, I'm so sad now that they're all gone.
The Platoon is back together now.
The same thing with Are You Being Served cast they are all gone.
a week before his birthday. :(
Real humor never gets old.
Arthur Lowe and John Le Mesurier chemistry timing is what makes this series to all respect to the other cast members who are also magnificent. there first 10 minutes is just magic.
They were brilliant together.The dialogue and scriptwriting was superb.
You reminded me of a few years I spent in London then Hitchin (Hertfordshire) 1970-1976 when I was studying there. Many thanks for putting on this show. Much appreciated
My brother and I used to watch this every night after our bath ....mum would give us milk and a bikkie before bedtime. It is like a mijillion years ago.
:))
Whats a bikkie?
Great memories :)
@@TheDieselbutterfly a bloody biscuit you goose
@@TheDieselbutterfly a biscuit
The pickles conversation was absolute madness. Clive Dunn really sold that and I just burst at the end.
The funniest of all their brilliant episodes!
John Le Mesurier was just like my dad, a quite man that never made any noise about it.
Yeah he reminds me of my Uncle actually, he fought in the war too but was as quiet and gentle a man as I've ever known.
Wilson was always my favourite.
Though set in WWII, the situations and interplay between characters is ageless - and thus the superb comedy is also ageless.in 2005, my 5yr old son would scream with pure delight watching the expressions and situations: proof that this comedy is still current and relevant. Brilliant comedy - as only the British can produce!! 👍
Lol my 12 year old little brother does the same
I will love this series and these wonderful characters forever and a day!!
I never skip this intro, I love the music.
I love Dad’s Army one of the great British classics
Excellent the best. I can never get bored watching dada army’s over and over again!British comedy at it s best. The acting is superb!
I don’t know of any other series that beats this for pure , uplifting comedy , and I feel great regret after each episode has ended .
If they made a ten hour movie , it wouldn’t be enough !
You should try the German version
This will Never be duplicated again...These actors are Brilliant! Modern actors just don't have that....Touch to replicate these characters fully.
Best comedy series ever made, imo. Unlike some series, the characters developed and all had their own back stories, weren't just caricatures of types.
Wonderful! Thank you so much! This show is an absolute gem. It's nice at the end of the day to enjoy something so well done! I wish they still made shows like this.
This makes me feel nostalgic for a show that in turn is being nostalgic.
sadly, all members of the cast of this popular series are deceased, since the recent death of Ian Lavender (Pte Pike) . A legendary TV comedy series in the UK.
I truly love this show, watching this back in UK my favourite show. Always funny and great British humour. We need this has the world is going bonkers. !!!
I Met Ian Lavender at my school fun day around 1979. So much older in person and so much fun
John Le Mesurier is a comic genius.
Must have been a difficult episode for John Le Mesuieur, with everything he was going through in his love life.
@@caribstu poor guy...same personality in real life.
Was
Henk Oosterink is a guy writing things that are extremely boring. OF COURSE that cast was up to the task. Saying they are okay is completely useless. Henk Oosterink loves writing useless things. Why?! Stupid?
@@voornaam3191 Flikker toch op idioot.
Hilarious. I do not think we will ever see comedy such as this ever again
So true - mores the pity
not think know xx
Absolutely hilarious, what a funny show! I bet the old boys had a marvelous time.
Yes that ten years was the time of their lifes
I grew up watching the original broadcasts on TV, when the NZBC, acquired the series, from 'aunty ', as the BBC, was fondly referenced, in the day.
The Policeman - also appeared in "Are You being Served", as Mr Harmon from maintainence
Many of the actors, have sadly passed, since this was made.
May they Rest in Peace.
Namaste 🙏💟
The BBC has been able to raise the issue of war in a new and innovative way .. thank the BBC
John LeMesuirier interviewed said the sequence was cut to show him as the hero...if you notice Walker doesn't come back in the office, it was originally cut that after showing Wilson the hero, they then cut to Walker sitting on a bench with a car starting- handle !!
When i first watched this episode i was preparing to be a highschool teacher. this episode gave me the creeps worse than a horror movie. Working with people is frikkin' hard. if you don't stand your ground firmly, they eat you alive.
Now i've had 11 years experience so i've learned to tactfully handle difficult situations. ... i hope.
Remember, these are old men, yet, in this episode they are behaving like rebelious teenagers. Still, Cpt Mainwaring did his job well, he could have been a lot harsher, he could have made them all hate him, yet he asked them calmly, appealed to their conscience, then left, giving the men the choice to do the right thing. On the other hand, poor Wilson was way too soft, but he recovered in the end.
Valuable lesson on class management.
You know there's this thing called humour. Also when I was at school they could discipline us with leather straps and bamboo canes. The teacher I learned the most from was the one who kept discipline by ignoring the need for it and we all responded with civilized behaviour.
It's very worrying to think such a milksop is allowed to be alone with children, let alone free to shape the minds of boys.
Godfreys response to Frazer was wonderful.
Firm yet polite.
Y cx
I grew up with this series & the actors, Hilarious!
This episode really showed what good actors they were.
apart from mainwaring with his lines on the back of his hand
@@gda295 right, sure, because that's how they prompt on a studio shoot. lmao
@@caribstu well i lov captain mainwaring , he he
They should have been good actors by then! This was almost their end of career. By then they'd had decades of experience.
Corporal Jones: "We'll take away their privileges."
Capt. Mainwaring: They haven't got any privileges."
Corporal Jones: "Then we'll give them some privileges and then take them away."
lol
"if you do that again you will get this up you and you will not like it" - good old Jonesy
I am an Ex- German now South African and I enjoy this series immensely
Ex- German? is that like Ex - Nazi?
Richard Bayly No. sounds like someone embracing his new country. Unlike in the US, where everyone adds an adjective to the front of their nationality.
@@brunneng38 I agree. Perhaps Richard was joking as to be ex-Nazi someone must be close to 100 year old :-)
your name Vill also go on Zee list...
it is really a shame that english speakers would joke (" is that like Ex Nazi?") like that; Shameful! i am glad you enjoy it. I live in Austria I am British and have many friends who exclaim that it is a shame that Germans and Austrians do not have these WWII comedies. And should anyone think that the English were better, we only need to think of Dresden or India, and Churchill's racism.
SGT. Wilson is a quiet and calm man but can kick ass if need be
I'm watcg from nz. Hilarious in the quaint way, but at a time of real strife. I've been laid up with foot injury and this upload got me through 2 months of no walking. Thank you dads army, funny when I was 10, funnier now I'm 56. I know it was wartime but can we go back?, time machine maybe.
A lesson in screen writing. Masterful.
Makes one want to enjoy a game of darts and have a pint...but, challenging in these times of Covid-19!
This was the highlight era of British comedy with so many of golden shows like Monty Python, Dad's Army, It ain't half hot mum, fawlty towers, Blackadder, and Allo Allo. I truly does missed out on the some laughs.
Here's some other brilliant British comedies: The Goodies, Man about the House, Doctor in the House, Doctor at Large,
Doctor in Charge, Do Not Adjust Your Set, Father Dear Father, Til Death Do Us Part, Are You Being Served, Morecombe and Wise, The Dave Allen Show, Steptoe and Son, Bless this House, At last the 1948 Show, On the Buses, Mr Bean, Not the Nine O'clock News, Some Mother's Do 'Ave 'Em, Don't Drink the Water, The Two Ronnies, Love Thy Neighbour, Carry on Laughing, Mind Your Language, Benny Hill, The Dick Emery Show, Please Sir, The Fenn Street Gang, Up Pompeii, Last of the Summer Wine, The Liver Birds, The Rag Trade, Father Ted, The Vicar of Dibley, Keeping Up Appearances, Red Dwarf, The Mighty Boosh, The Young Ones, Black Books, Rising Damp, French and Saunders, Mrs Brown's Boys, George and Mildred,The Good Life, Robin's Nest....and a whole lot more that I can't think of at the moment.
@@GazGuitarz thanks ,look them up now to watch
@@GazGuitarz brilliant!! Thanks most awfully 😊
@@GazGuitarz What about 50's radio. Take it From here, Ancock's 'Alf hour ,The Goonshow, Ray's a Laugh. Great for us "colonials" as we were then.
@@peterpiper482 Yep, some mighty fine radio shows paved the way for the medium of television.
Don't forget that we "Colonials" also had our own great radio shows, such as Dad and Dave, When A Girl Marries, Bob Dyer, Jack Davey or one of the many series or plays with George Edwards, ... all brought to Aussie listeners via the Wireless. It was the Golden Age of Australian Radio.
This was a really great episode. Great acting and laughs all round.
I really enjoyed the part when the platoon have the brother of the IRA suspect in the office. Then Mr Yeatman comes in and argues with Mr Jones, the brother interrupts, and Mr yeatman breaks the glass bottle over the head of that man, knocking him unconscious. Also the ending when Wilson beats up the three Irishmen and intimidating Mr Hodges, and getting respect from Mrs Pike.
One of the best comedies of all time!
The best english comedy TV-series there is!
Timeless humour, brilliant writers and actors.
Given me so many laughs when i've needed cheering up.
❤
The hairnet fashion accessory worn by Mavis in the pub, was originally worn by women in munitions factories to keep their hair from tangling in the machinery - it was called a ' SNOOD '.
Thanks for the information.
Snood.....whats snood?....get it? ......whats snood....haha i am a comic genius
Wow, this is absolutely hilarious. I am shocked.
a great tv show.very nice and funny.i watched every episode of it.and as far as i concern.i would love it if it comes back on television.great show, great actors and a lot of humor.i loved it👍👍👍👍👍👍😀😀😀😀😀😀😀👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
These actors really knew their comic timing,
qwqup
Great timing, and I love your analysis, it reminds me, when, middle of a comment, no,
As an Irishman in the Western Cape of South Africa.......,,I grew up with Dad's Army.. and many others.....but the subtitles had me going....Dutch?...Flemish?.........but slooooowly learning my Afrikaans!!.......Ek kan nie Afrikaans praat nie..........maar...dankie vir die Flik!!! the power and wonder of language!!!!!!
ctm collins Dutch it is! And i am greatfull for it ;-) it was very populair in Holland.
Its a horrible language. Xhosa is much better. I really do enjoy SA.
Best British comedy of all time
RIP Pike
Pikes Mom no good always wants a good time
Amazing that Jones lived 35 years after this episode.
Yes he was quite a young man when he did Dads Army..... great makeup and acting
Clive Dunn who portrayed lance corporal Jack Jones was born in 1920. He was 48 when dad's army was initially shown.
Sgt. Wilson is so fabulously appealing and compared to Hodges, who's not? Brilliantly rendered by each cast member each episode
John Pertwee is pretty funny as well. they all compliment each other
@@eamonstafford2056 Oh yes. If he did not execute the role so well, you'd like him better.
Love this show, such good clean fun..
I cannot help but feel a profound sense of sympathy for the Capt. At times I believe , he means well and I don't feel that he's a bad sort of chap in anyway . In addition , his wife is a miserable excuse for a human being , he definitely deserves better. One can't help but feel his frustrations and worse still, I believe that he is all too aware of the situation he is in. And interestingly enough he can at times be insensitive and cold to others , I believe that he's a tortured soul and completely frustrated .....
I feel a great sympathy for Mainwaring too... he's the one who took the responsability and took the danger to create a 'army' out of nothing... he had no much to offer ok... we can laugh ofcourse ... but he did at least SOMETHING for his country
Regardless of his little petty egotistic actions which are normal human foibles, Capt Mainwaring has his moments of great courage.
Ionian Ions very true, like in the episode Asleep in the deep, when the members of Jones section and Warden Hodges each pick a piece of paper and the piece of paper with a cross on it goes to the head of the chain of them picking up pieces of debris at the waterworks. Then mainwaring picks a blank piece of paper but says he has a cross on his piece of paper.
He was a very brave man. Negated by being somewhat pompous and guilty of great inverse snobbery. You cannot deny that despite his faults, he was be best man to lead this platoon.
@@benters3509 Really? In reality Wilson would be the Platoon Commander and Mainwaring the Pl Sgt but I think the script writers deliberately reversed the roles on purposes to make it more funny. And of course it is. In one episode Wilson came out of the closet and wore his uniform of Captain from WW1 to a ball! It threw Mainwaring completely off balance.
The policeman (Arthur English aka Mr Harman in AYBS) didn't have many lines, but his reactive expression, at around 20:27 when Mainwaring says "we shall be using ju jitsu", is priceless.
Love it ,am I the only one.i will be keeping an eye from time to time .
Vern Morgan was a Farmer, and bar keeper at 3 or 4 pubs in the series. He was always running out of beer!
"This H.Q, No. 1 Platoon, B Company...Oh! Hellooo!"...
Of all the characters in this Dad's Army series, it's Capitan Mainwairing who stands out as the inspiration and role model in real life. That's what I think, anyway.
He's also very brave. In Asleep Under the Deep he pretended to have drawn the short straw to put himself in danger rather than another member of his platoon and he's always extremely stoic whenever things kick off.
At least a couple of them resurfaced on "Are you being served" What a nice bunch of talented actors.
Ending was almost emotional trust Mainwaring' lot to come through
10:16
"Everyone wants a bit under the counter"
I've watched this particular episode twice past year... Goody gumdrops
It's the highlight of my day....
:P
I realy felt for Capt. Mainwaring, this was indeed uncalled for ...
Such a good episode. Great actors!
Brings me back to more civilized times . Even if it was comedy about a WW2 British home guard. Nostalgic 😊☘️🇮🇪. And I mean that sincerely. Took my mind off of the state the world is going through now 😏 Dad's Army, simple but so funny 🤣
We're getting old. Even the man who played the stupid boy has now passed on. RIP Ian Lavender, an era has truly ended.
I don't much like the look of the coming era.
Scary, all my favourite stars (are you being served) are gone.
"You mean like pickles?"
I love this episode, definitely one of my favourites
The warden is brilliant :)
I always loved this show.....hysterical 😁😂
Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view!"
Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam."
Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!"
Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..."
Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!"
Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky."
Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction."
Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment?"

What an unusual episode. Written in a different style. Almost like it was written by different people.
If so they maintained the traits of each character, but it did seem slightly different based on the twenty or so episodes I have seen.
Quite a lot of episodes were disrupted by drunkenness or illness so there is a run of episodes of much higher quality and a run of episodes where changes had to be made at the last minute.
I think jones believes that the Captain's Mrs is expecting a baby.
Nooo, really? 🤦🏼♂️
My all time favorite sitcom, ever! And good old Mr. Godfrey being the real war hero (WW 1) among these excellent actors.
What a Brilliant episode 👍😀👍
What Sargent Wilson say at 5:35 is one if my favorite jokes on a sitcom ... the stark difference of what is expected of him and how he goes about it hahah amazing
😀can't beat pommy comedy
FANTASTISCH dat het in het nederlands ondertiteld wordt. Echt GEWELDIG. Zou mooi zijn als er nog meer Engelse series ondertiteld worden
De helft van de serie van 80 eps zijn destijds ondertiteld... ik zoek nog een vrijwilliger... hihi
fantastic
Halt in.the name of the king! Stuff the king! Ha ha! Classic irish.
Wilson left Reagan s house with Mainwaring s revolver in his right hand!
If you look carefully, he even has the gun when they get back to the church hall, and then he moves towards the shelves behind Mr. Mainwaring, so he probably puts it there and forgets all about it.
Old British actors seemed to have a better pronunciation and accent. Nowadays, they speak with a rather heavy accent.
8:03 "He looks after me from time to time"
Translation: He bonks me from time to time.
LOL.
Frazer is one of my favourite characters, but his hypocrisy is huge!
What a great episode.
Good old days !
Who would have thought that of Sgt Wilson?.....
So funny. They were classic
I wish they still made these....it's so sad the way the world is now. Violence, profanities, sex, over the top in comedy now. These guys were so clever.
Het blijft leuk, vooral de botsingen tussen Mainwaring en Wilson.
Zo'n serie kunnen alleen Britten maken.
Check out Arthur lowe in show called potter! Its comedy perfection
Well....Wilson is on a promise that night from Mrs Pike 😀
