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.

This will remain with me.. every episode. My grandfather would chuckle as this played over the vhs. I didn’t understand it all, but I would understand enough to share laughter throughout. I challenge you to name another show that aloud a 7yo and a 70yo to bond like this. I miss his laughter dearly. All my love to all that hold the same nostalgia x

I remember watching this show for the first time with my grandmother. Many years ago. I love it still to this day.
Godfrey is adorable.
5:03 The look that Arthur Lowe gives, a slight lean back, a tilt of the head and peering. He was a master at that. A genius.

I watch Dad's Army every night now. Always cheers me up no matter what happens. It worries me that no one seems to be able to write these shows anymore. In the last ten years I've gotten a few laughs from the Big Bang Theory but that's it. Over here we've got The Goldbergs, Blackish, Last man standing.. All junk. I never laugh. Can't hold a candle to this. As usual I discover these British shows years after almost everyone is dead. Thank God for video recording!

try "Are You Being Served?" for a nice feel good factor.
John Laurie is brilliant in every episode. Foreboding and suspenseful with that amazing Scottish accent. I imagine he would have been great to have a drink with.
My favorite was always Jones. Loved him!!!
I consider this work to be one of the masterpieces that we will not hope to see .. It is timeless and distinctive in our memories .. I am now 42 years old and when I feel uncomfortable and wanting to laugh I watch this distinguished work and then I do not stop laughing

Begin jaren tachtig keken mijn ouders ook naar deze serie .nog in zwart wit wat hebben we toen toch gelachen vooral mijn vader.
If this were high school Walker would be the class clown.
Godfrey and all that water IS dancing with death. 😂
I always remember that comment from Pike "kitchen water not bathroom water", living in 1970s Scotland, I agree, it tasted different.
"You show me yours, I'll show you mine." LMAO

+Nomoredrama2000 The innuendos in these old British comedies are so fun. Don't get such subtle jokes in modern comedies. Except somewhat in Steven Universe. I like my South Park too but most modern shows don't know how to use such ultra crude humor as well.
All those feet must pong after all that marching though
Bedankt voor het uploaden van al deze afleveringen!
thanks for the upload, I'm gonna have binge watch this now
Brilliant acting Specifically Arthur Lowe as Captain Manering.
arthur lowe was one of the greatest actor of all time he put a smile on peoples faces all over the world.
Mainwaring you’ll have to stop the German invasion by yourself, the rest of the platoon has broken toes and feet from kicking the the football and walking on the rocks.
Lol @ "last but not least" " and the little piggy went wee wee wee all the way home"
They are in there for a long walk this time for sure .
At the end of every scene, I love the old songs coming on.
I couldn't agree more.
Actually Walker would already have a supply of boots.
I'm a fan but too many episodes, like this one, end prematurely.
The shoe store owner should go into Jones meat market and make a mess of his meats, then go to the bank and make a mess.
"you show me yours I'll show you mine " 😧
Note to self, watched it 1/15/18.
25:40 - Ok, that surprised no one
I enjoy puppet plays.
...at 01:30, Captain Mainwaring shows what a good foot should be...rank, the sign reads...
Different to see the platoon playing football. And the challenge of the usual 6 men walking on rough ground in their white singlets. Order from left to right: Jones, Wilson, Godfrey, Walker, Pike, and Frazer. I also liked when Godfrey kept drinking more and more water at the shoe shop
Not bad ⚡️
Jones could make more of a mess than a bull in a china shop.
behind the scenes: Ian at first refused to exposed his barefeet, but the director forced him to do that saying he has Hot ones, so he submitted

They said 1 lb. was worth $4.20 in 1940 thru 1950. So 36 shillings was worth around $7.00 . Still expensive in 1940.
