Not sure quite what it is you're suggesting but do feel free to share as much as you wish in these forums! A dedicated thread seems best to keep it together.

Maybe modesty, but Michael has posted a nice piece here on his grandfather..........

90? Good Lord! (Sorry Vicar)

I just watched the full boxset and my tune has completely changed on the show. Dad's Army is one of the best sitcoms ever shown imo. It's a total classic, I love it. I find Jones and Wilson to be my favourite characters. The writing is brilliant, the acting is brilliant. I wasn't keen on Hodges, but that's it really.

Hodges?

Off to Leicester Square Theatre tomorrow to join Frank Williams' 90th birthday celebrations.

...And it was a happy birthday from, amongst others, Michael Knowles, Wendy Craig, Su Pollard, Jeffrey Holland, Sue Hodge & Syd Little (all on stage in the photo). And of course from me (in the cheap seats; not in the photo).
