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.

When I was a kid Jones' butcher's van used to be parked on the street I lived on, outside a garage. I think it was there for repairs. We used to clamber about on it.
When Wilson says "Bonjour" you can see Walker and Pike start laughing in the background
These like many other British actors and comedians knew how to be absolutely side-splittingly funny without a single swear word
Corporal Jones(Clive Dunn) had the funniest lines. Priceless ❤️
Another brilliant episode. They certainly knoew their onions.
Great crazy episode! The classroom scene is fantastic...the bossy Captain Ramsay isn't prepared for the natural surrealism of our heroes...they come from a different planet!
Fulton Mackay is just perfect as an officer as he was in Porridge and in an episode of ‘some mothers do have em’. Just perfect and hilarious
Agreed.He was excellent in Some Mothers Do Ave Em and played those characters so well.
"What About My Onions"! I line I always remember from Dad's Army from years ago!🤪🌰🌰🌰🌰🚚
Funny..history..respect..see who the nation of British is great..all this can see in this work..really I am very thankful from BBC..and I send all my greetings to BBC from me I am Dr.Mohammed Al-jazaeri from Basra city in south of Iraq.
My favourite show in 2017.
That is brilliant. Who came up with the plot. Just amazing.
At 27:37, Captain Mainwaring to Sergeant Wilson "Lend me a pound, Wilson"...now, that I think of it, the 2008 financial crisis didn't start in the 80s...already in the 40s, bank managers were asking people to lend them some money //-))
I suppose a bank manager would not have carried much money with him.
Awwe, Godfrey's concern about "spoiling" the other troops is as heartwarming as it is hilarious!
I just love Godfrey.
That sergeant was also the principal in the school that was in Pink Floyds movie the wall. "Think I will buy me a football team."
I thought I recognised him! :O
I like the part when Captain Ramsay pretends to be a Gestapo officer questioning corporal Jones, and then the captain turns away and Jones pulls out his rummel and tries to strangle Captain Ramsay.
We all like that part.
loving all this!!!!! thank you. resolution is ace and this is in 1973. then watch New Tricks from 2001 and resolution is crap. go figure!
It may be because this episode was recoreded on film as opposed to video tape.
12:12
Officer : I am a Gestapo officer. What am i ?
Jones : You are a Gestoffisapo
😂😂😂
Don't roll your eyes like that Frazer I told you about that before 😅😅😁😅😁😅😅🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺✌️✌️✌️
Haha, pure gold. ;-)
Happy Christmas ☃️🎄! Onto the onions 😭!! Go, Walmington-on-Sea onion platoon!!!
Fulton Mackay as always, brilliant. This Dad's Army episode was released just 12 months before the tv series Porridge took off with Fulton Mackay playing prison warder Mackay along with Ronnie Barker as Norman Fletcher.
And for all the onions fans search CZcams the 1966 hit... Susan Christie - I Love Onions
He is brilliant. The way he says 'Ramsay' then stands on his tiptoes the second time.... a terrifying monster.... wonderful.
1:05 So funny to hear that word used without it being an insult towards a person. Heh.
Pike is so funny in this one.
He's always funny😀
Jones is absolutely my favorite character
Me too...he's loyal, brave, and has integrity, and also very funny...Qualities to admire!
I told you sir, it's the onions
Just how would one solve that ladder problem?
I'd need a diagram to display my attempt at a solution.
Somehow Capt. Mainwaring whole platoon became Russian while performing the tasks !
Never giving up but taking more and more failures and beatings again and again !
Classic 🇦🇺✌️
ONIONS don't make your eyes water until they are cut.
Right
Or blown into bits
They were smashed in the truck by everyone climbing all over them.
??????
That was a terribel waste of onions.
everybody gangsta till the onions be gone
I guess Fulton McKay is playing the father of the RAF intelligence officer in Some Mothers Do 'Ave Em.
He was the officer in charge of testing spencer in his intelligence test fr the pilot’s training. That was a hilarious segment of the episode !
The other ones in frank spencers aplitude test.
17:23 .. Look where Frasier's hand is.
Dirty old man. ''Oh it was an accident, I tried to grab her arm!'' Uh huh..
I would like to know the history of the Smith Gun, was it real?
Yes. There normally was another similar looking carriage which was attached to the smith gun, which carried the ammo. The regular army wanted nothing to do with it, but the home gaurd was delighted to get them. Then again the home gaurd was delighted to get anything.
They're very rare, with only two known examples left. Both are in museums.
20:35 flying
12:07 you are y-y-you are
What a hair brain exercise.

How can electricity be passed through wood?!
Joshua Lifetree go stick a peace of wood on electricty line and find out
You should learn some physics before you comment. ELECTRICITY does NOT FLOW through WOOD. Got it?
Moron, you look it up I'm not your servant you ignorant imbecile.
Wood is a still a conductor and high voltage power hasn't any trouble moving through wood, especially if the wood is damp.
@@carolineg1872 Thanks but I always thought wood was not a conductor. In fact in the old days they used wooden casing to cover electrical wires.
Why is this recorded on film instead of video like the others?
What's a pansy ?
It's a pretty little flower. The word was used for an effeminate man.
