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.
Feel welcome on our fan page to share all the fun... and love for DA. .. see you on: Dad's Army Fan Zone - Komedie
No nudity, no foul language, just charming British comedy ❤
Well we did get to see Mrs Pike's knickers,
And the most violence you get in the show is Mr. Jones with 'They don't like it up 'em'
I love that they 'fixed' the paper door and are carrying on as normal.
When we needed him most, he came back to upload more episodes.
One of the best episodes! It showed Cpl. Jones being in debt because of his good heart, and the other men all incurring significant expense in helping each other out of a difficulty, except for the warden who tried to coerce Mrs. Pike, and got what he deserved from Sgt. Wilson!
Thanks so much for uploading; I think the neighbors can hear me laughing out loud while watching Dad's Army!
Pike's laugh gets me everytime 🤣 😂

KEEP MRS’ PIKES NAME OUT YOUR BLASTED MOUTH
Not exactly on point here, but as Kenny Rogers sang: "...sometimes you've fight when you're a man".
Does anyone know why most of the characters are either bachelors or childless? Mainwaring is in a childless marriage, Jones, Frazer, Godfrey have neither wives or children. This is anachronistic to the religious society britain was in the 40s , instead reflecting the 60-70s when this show was produced
The short answer is probably to prevent episodes of drama where kids make fun of their dads for being in the home guard. Or to help highlight how many of the men are slightly incompetent or hopeless as romantics.
I'm single. Straight. KNow lot of guys who fly solo. Straight guts all. Women are fun i ´n small doses.
Look around you
How many people are parents
I think Walker had a few kids about town
Their lack of offspring helped in presenting them as innocent, as other-worldly. Also, it emphasised the slight infantilism they project... (don't get me wrong, I love Dad's Army)
Did you re upload this one
No I saw I never did
What is your favourite episode?
Mine is too difficult to tell... so many good jokes... strong parts... nice storylines... or episodes as a whole... but i think about twentiefive eps has it all ! :))
German submarine
turkey dinner!!
Some episodes have even DUTCH translations: you probably missed them ??!
Graag ondertiteling
Via CZcams kun je zelf ondertiteling al of niet toevoegen
Waarom steeds geen ondertiteling ???
Dat kun je inmiddels zelf instellen via CZcams
@george dat werkt nooit goed, vertalingen kloppen nooit. Ondertiteling erbij is wel oprecht heel fijn!
