As much as I dislike RIP threads, he is one of the few to genuinely deserve one, a great talent, and a wonderful man, had time for everyone and anyone.
My sincerest to his family |

Apparently he also served with the 4th Hussars in 1941 in defence of Greece and was a POW until '45

[iDad's Army[/i was one of the finest shows ever. Clive Dunn was 92, so it's hardly surprising, but it still feels as though a light has gone out.
But ...
Don't panic!

I never really found it that funny for the most part, especially when it went into the slapstick, but was interspersed with funny moments like the "Don't tell him, Pike" moment.
Jones was my favourite character, usually not for his "Don't Panic!" bits but for other little things like always being half a second behind everyone else when standing to attention, and "They don't like it up em" always makes me smile. |

I can't say I liked any of the characters Dunn played in anything - my favourite part by far of Dad's Army was the interaction between Arthur Lowe and John Le Mesurier.

Agreed - although the other two genuine 'old-boys', Frazer and Godfrey were very well observed characters - brilliantly over played by John Laurie, and beautifully underplayed by Arnold Ridley. |

Didn't do a lot for me either. Probably b'cos I wasn't a great [iDads Army[/i fan.

My paternal grandfather was in the Home Guard. He'd sit and chuckle away at it – always said it was absolutely spot on.

My dad was in the Home Guard for a year at 17 years of age while he waited to join up "for real".
He always compared himself to Pike and they did genuinely patrol reservoirs at night with broomstick handles. |

Another Clive Dunn fact: he was briefly a member of Oswald Mosley's British Union of Fascists before becoming a life-long socialist

My grandfather was so short sighted he wasn't allowed to join up "for real" (thanks for the genetic myopia, granddad).
Thank goodness they never did face an invasion. |

My granddad at least had a wooden rifle (or so he said) when he was working for the gas board and 'guarding' vital infrastructure.
