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.

Wonderful how as soon as there's an emergency, they're all in it together.
Walker is one of my fav characters so it's sad his actor, James Beck, passed away before the whole series ended. Not to mention Beck was only in his 40s when he died...that's too young to die. RIP James Beck. The show isn't the same without him in it.

R.I.P James Beck
As many people commented, this episode sadly marks the end of the line for James Beck and his character "Walker". Beck passed away not much later after the episode was filmed, if memory serves, and the note was a way to explain his absence to the audience and his departure from the series. It could just be me, but if you look at the faces of the men, Pike in particular, they seem to have a certain sadness to them, presumably because they knew Beck's passing was imminent.

12:01 Ian Lavender moving 'Walker's' note back in place. Very smooth Pike.
i like watching the original Dad's army tv series it sad how the actor who played the character Jo walker passed away so young its a shame that his character was never mentioned again after this episode but i am glad that Jo Walker reapeared in the new Dad's army film
Thank you, I love being able to binge on Dad's Army
The days when you could give someone a quick clip around the earhole. They got the message pronto.
This series was just so well done. And everyone played their parts brilliantly! Jones is by far my favorite!
Walker was the character that brought MATURITY to the show (if you know what I ACTUALLY mean😁😁). Beck played it wonderfully.
Frank Williams & Edward Sinclair really shine in this episode - always wanted it to be longer to see the two of them in action.
The timing is always so superb. Professionals.
Thank you for this, good to see again after so many years. A story for you. When my Father first heard of this programme he was very offended. Ridiculing the British Army, who do they think they are? He served 7 years during hostilities rising from Private to brevet Major, twice mentioned in dispatches, unarmed combat instructor, explosives and weapons expert, 21 Army Group and so on. Seeing one broadcast he was immediately converted to a fan!

As Captain Mainwaring reads out the note from Joe Walker, Joe had recently died. When you look at the others faces, Jones, Pike, Sponge and the rest you can see the genuine sadness on their faces. James Beck was an excellent actor, played the part of a spiv very well, it's such a shame the bottle got him so early! RIP James Beck.

I don't watch the episodes in order so when I saw this I thought "Aw Walker always always dealing people wrong" but then I looked into and had to come face to face with my favorite character dying and what makes it worse is that he could've lived to 2018 if he didn't smoke or drink.

To all the good actors and their performances which rightfully mentioned by others, this episode added the wonderful choice of a child actor, a boy who just barely reached the age of twelve or so, who is impertinent and annoying, yet loveable at the same time.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_Walker Beck died suddenly in 1973. The character of Walker was possibly one of the most prominent and popular in the show. Following his character's departure (Walker was last mentioned in the episode "The Recruit", although he does not appear in this episode)

naly's art so true this is when the decline in the quality of dad's army begin. It was not the same without James Beck as Joe Walker. At least he died when he was on the rise in acting and did not have a decline in his career. Though that is only a small consolation.
