I've never 'got' Dad's Army, I just don't find the humour in it. It's not an 'old sitcom' thing either, because I'm quite partial to Porridge, Open all Hours, Citizen Smith, Till death do us part etc

'Grandad' was a great tune though.

^^^ Neither did I, but hearing of him passing took me back to halcyon days.

I must admit I always liked Dad's Army, but it's always been around - I don't know what I'd think of it if I was just seeing it for the first time.

Probably I'd be pissed off by the catch-phrases before long. But I like pompous people being made to look stupid so it might still be a winner with me!

Although dad's army was a load of village buffooons ,defending the country and being racist to the germans,there's a hidden side to it.
The characters and their positions show an upheaval in the social sphere and having Clive Dunn going on about the fuzzy wuzzies might seem like Krad after a few tinnies but its there to show the story.
Clive Dunns' career went back before ww1 and in the 19th century.
John le Mesiuer (the puffy one) is acually the most educated and cultured one of the lot but has to bite his lip to Mr mannering,who is basically new money.The vicar is classic .

......I thought he was dead!.........I remember thinking the same of Eric Sykes....and mrs thatcher.
