    I loved that programme, and his portrayal was perfect!

    RIP Clive

    Have to say, the days of those kinds of comedy series seem long gone. Real classic!

    Unfortunately, I agree RBF.

    Thanks for many happy memories both in my childhood and adult life Clive and the rest of the team.

    RIP

    Even now, I think I laugh louder at Dad's Army than most so-called comedies on the box these days.

    Have watched repeats of both in the last couple of weeks and they still make me laugh out loud.

    I remember being given the morning off school to go and see them filming at the steam railway in Sheringham.
    I got all their autographs. Being a young kid at the time, it was never really looked after. How I wish I'd still got them all.

    Not so long ago there was a Dad's Army magazine and complete DVD collection released. I collected them all including binders, mug etc. Was and still is one of my favourite shows. Not many of the cast left now, only Bill Pertwee, Ian Lavender and the Vicar (who's name escapes me as I type), that's about it.

    Funny funny funny program, brilliantly acted, brilliantly written. Sadly no one seems to be able to do that kind of innocent fun anymore.

    Goodbye Clive Dunn R.I.P. <peacedove>

    I guess I am showing my age perfectly that I first came across him as Grandad. Afraid I only discovered Dads Army later in life.

    Because of this I always kind of thought of him as an extra Grandad. A sad day indeed...

    Am I also right in thinking that it was Clive Dunn who sung the theme to Dads Army? Never looked it up, just sounds like him.

    Hope it is, can just imagin Corporal Jones singin that song.
