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.

Odd that Jones wouldn't let Godfrey do the bird noises. Godfrey's sister Dolly often commented that his bird calls were wonderful - quite authentic.
I just love this series👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
the best quality episodes on the net.

Loving the homage to Charlie Chaplin.
7:12 Walker fumbles the phone. 12:00 boom mic keeps lowering.
ah yes life was simple back then....... :)
Doesn't anyone think it strange that there was an Austrian running around in Britain in WW2 ? How did he get there ? They were on the other side
That had me confused too. It might have been easier to cast him as Swiss because we know they were neutral.
@@graciefields898 politically neutral maybe, but they were in the thick of it, all those stolen treasures by the Nazis were stashed in Swiss bank lockers
Classic🖤💛❤️🇦🇺😂😆😆😅👍
Heb je de laatste updates ook met Nederlandse ondertiteling? Alvast bedankt voor je werk.
stefaan nee de helft vd eps schijnt maar ondertiteld... die had ik al gepost... ik doe nu alle nl ondertitelde eps ook even zonder ondertitels posten :))...
A great episode. Sadly, however, that lovely doggy was not given a credit. Pity. 'Twas a fine performance.
Sure he was.
Brian, as himself!
@@elleryeggen9678 Hey, wow! You're right! Actually, it just said "Bran", as himself. It could only have been the doggy.
Thanks. 👍
🤣😂👏🏿👏🏿🤣🤣

Waarom weer geen Nederlands
De eerste helft van de serie werd nog uitgezonden... de tweede niet meer... er is dus ook geen vertaling van in Nederlands... als iemand dat wil doen zet ik het op internet.. geen probleem
@@Georgeth-kb6rg Zou ik blij mee zijn, dank als je dat wil doen.
