Clive Dunn - RIP

[Marxo]

I think (Bill?) Pertwee the air raid warden is still with us, although I stand to be corrected.

I love dad's army, there's yet another repeat showing on Saturdays at the mo.

Yes, Bill Pertwee is still with us along with Frank Sinclair (the vicar).
RIP Clive.

RIP. That clip could work very well today - "We're going to win the league" - "No , you're not"

Mrs. Fox is an excellent cook. Aren't you Mrs. Fox?

Well. You've always been very nice about my dumplings.

Comedy from gentler times-RIP Jonesy

Yes, Bill Pertwee is still with us along with Frank Sinclair (the vicar).
RIP Clive.

Do you mean Frank Williams the Reverend? He was educated at Ardingly College, I think.

RIP Clive. Complications from surgery. I hope he didn't suffer.

RIP

To this day Dads Army is still very funny, a classic comedy that has stood the test of time.

 

[SIMMO SAYS]

Clive Dunn was one of the younger actors in Dads Army - the make up artists made him look 30 years older than he actually was.

 

[Norman Potting]

He's one of those celebs who seemed to be old for decades. To the point where you're convinced he'd have popped his clogs long ago. Bernard Cribbins being another.

Anyway, RIP to the fella.

I think this is because although he was made up as an elderly character he was actually only in his forties when the programme started.

I still watch Dads Army at every opportunity, Jimmy Perry and David Croft were masters at this type of comedy I absolutely adore Hi De Hi, more great characters (especially the punch and judy man who hated kids) just like Dads Army.

Fabulous! A true comic legend.

Never again will he give Mrs Fox any more sausage.

No wonder he always needed the loo. Very brave man! Assuming the injuries happened on different occasions, he must have " gone over the top" at least three times.

Of course Frank Williams, don't know where I got Sinclair from...sorry to Frank!

Which was even more ironic when they did a Dad's Army episode when Godfrey was a 'conchy' (conscientious objector).

My Sister Dolly liked him too.

Brilliant!
