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.

Despite Mainwairing's pomposity and desire to climb the class system often backfiring (hilariously of course), his character is genuinely a brave patriot and him climbing into the back of the ammunition truck to retrieve a live grenade would certainly have won him a medal, possibly even the George Cross, something his character never had (to his personal shame and everyone else's amusement). It would have been cool if he had actually gotten recognition by the end of the series, but then again he would have probably been insufferable 😂

I mean, it is shown in the very first episode that he did at the very least get some considerable local recognition after the war. In case you don't know, the first episode starts off with a short scene in the present of 1968, and the rest of the series is basically one big flashback.

One of the best episodes of one of the greatest comedy series of all time.
ONE of the best EPISODES ever! Talent.
The scene where Wilson pretends the stuffed animal belongs to him is very sweet. As shown in the episode Absent Friends, he was perfectly capable of kicking butt if he had to. But he wasn't someone who needed to act macho. In fact he was shown to be a rather sensitive man, as even Mainwaring once commented. Rather ahead of its time as far as a male character goes. Don't get me wrong, I also love Clint Eastwood's old Western movies that are very macho. But it goes to show there isn't one right way of being a man.

@Jesus Defender From what I read online, Arthur Lowe (Mainwaring's actor) wanted to separate work and personal life, so he refused to take his scripts home as he didn't want to do anything work-related at home. Square is even more pompous than Mainwaring, from what I read on the Dad's Army Wiki. Mainwaring is pompous, no doubt, but in this episode, Square is to blame for Mainwaring's behaviour.

He has displayed great courage a few times. That is the genuis of his character creation by the writers. He could be real fool at times but never lacked courage.
Perry was an admirer of great films. Dad's Army is replete with references to great cinema. Fallen Idol is the name of a brilliant Carol Reed film. Rather wonderfully, some episodes contain references to films that some of the cast acted in, particularly John Laurie.

2:53 fun fact: The Mad Bomber was the name of a real-life bomber who terrorized New York City in the 40s and 50s - at the time the episode was set, he hadn't been caught - likely adding to the explosives instructor's nervousness there!

What a strange person you must be if you think the laugh was the funniest thing...it was the least funny thing.
The Air-Raid warden of later episodes was a jackass in his own right, but his use of the name "Nepoleon" in reference to Captian Mainwaring was so on the money at times.
Snakes aren't warm and cuddly. What the hell did they have that line in there...realms of fantasy.? Lol
Those damm revolving Doors ……. Hilarious
Something interesting: While Frazer wasnt a communist, Clive Dunn (Jones) was, which made things somewhat tense on set since Arthur Lowe (Mainwaring) was an anti-communist conservative

This is Mainwaring showing his true colors as a snob, and a wannabe. Actually, the actor portraying him reportedly didn't like to socialize with his fellow actors while off the set. Not only will was he a conservative( which was loathsome enough), but he was also a snob.
