From: ard mhacha I have taped almost every programme from SKY UK Gold, it is up there alongside Fawlty Towers and Father Ted. Arthur Lowe was a genius and what a supporting cast, Dads Army left a great legacy to the world of comedy. |

Phil Jupitus was an added bonus. I don't think I could vote for just one of those shows mentioned? I would feel disloyal. But never got into YES MINISTER, maybe it was just of an era when I was more likely to be out gadding about. But big thumbs up to all the rest. |

From: Strollin' Johnny I was once on a friend's yacht in Brighton Marina back in the 80's and we saw a beautiful old steam-yacht moored up there. The owner was out on the deck working on her and we spent a very pleasant few minutes talking to him about his boat. A very charming guy - it was Arthur Lowe. Magic moments! RIP Arthur. Johnny :0) |

From: ard mhacha Another character from Dad`s Army has died, Colin Bean who played the part of Private Sponge died on the 20th of June. He didn`t take a prominent role in the Series but will always be remembered as the big pleasant chap always willing to lend a helping hand. How many of the cast are now left of this great Series?, still getting an occasional showing on BBC2, one of the best comedy shows ever. |

From: Acorn4 My favourite line ever from the series was when the German bomber had crashed in the reservoir:- Capt Mainwaring: Right Men, if any Germans show their heads I want you to keep up a constant barrage of withering fire! Pte Johnson: Permission to speak, Sir, Please Sir, how are we supposed to keep up a constant barrage of withering fire when we've only got five bullets each? |
