Dad's Army uncovered: 3. BBC comedy classic. Despite its original run ending 3.

Dad’s Army still has a prominent pride of place in British TV history. More than just a comedy, few other shows have contributed as many immediately recognisable moments that are remembered so fondly across all ages. So are the show's stars - Clive Dunn's recent sad passing evidenced one again how Dad's Army has stayed with viewers across the years. And now, creator Jimmy Perry has revealed that a film remake is being touted, with a female lead to star as the pompous bank manager made famous by Arthur Lowe under consideration .

But it wasn’t all about television: the Captain Mainwaring and his men also crossed radio and stage on their way to becoming national treasures. Almost Mainwarings.

Arthur Lowe is most famous for his role as bumbling Captain George Mainwaring, a character some of his co- stars thought resembled him! But he wasn’t the first choice. Some BBC bosses, including Head of Comedy Michael Mills, were against his casting and the role was offered to Thorley Walters and even future Doctor Who Jon Pertwee before Lowe took on his most famous part. 3.

They don’t like it down ‘em! Arthur Lowe certainly knew what comedy he liked and knew what he didn’t. In one episode he refused to film a scene where Private Frazer tries to free a bomb from Captain Mainwaring’s trousers. After a few rewrites, as you may remember, Corporal Jones ended up taking the bomb for the team. But Arthur Lowe insisted on something a bit more permanent: he had a clause written into his contract that he would never have his trousers removed! War veterans. Corporal Jones may always be the first of the platoon to want to ‘stick it up ‘em’ but the late Clive Dunn, who served four years in prisons and prisoner of war camps in Austria during WW2, was a pacifist. Other members of the cast and crew had fought not only in the Second World War, but also the First such as Arnold Ridley (Private Godfrey).

It certainly wasn’t the end of Dunn’s musical career - he even released his own album, ‘Permission to Sing Sir!’7. Private Perry! One of the show’s most popular characters, Private Pike (played by Ian Lavender) was based on writer Jimmy Perry’s real life experience as a teenager being molly- coddled by his mum."She didn't go so far as making me wear a scarf, but she came pretty near" he said. Shouldn’t have told us that, Pike! Almost Walkers. While Pike may be semi- autobiographical, and perhaps because of it, Jimmy Perry wrote the character of spiv Private Joe Walker to play himself.

Eventually James Beck was cast after co- writer David Croft told Perry to choose between acting or writing! Despite the ultimatum, Perry did manage to fit in a cameo in the sixth episode of the first series ‘Shooting Pains’ as Charlie Cheeseman.
