RIP. Loved watching (repeats of) Dad's Army when I was a kid and this was in the 90s. A true timeless classic and Jones was one of my favourite characters.

It surprised me that despite his character's appearance he was one of the youngest actor's in the Dad's Army cast.

Can't be many of them left now. Ian Lavender (Pike), any more?

I think the ARP Warden is still kicking around too but that's it.

Not many people know this but Clive Dunn's god son was my best man at my first wedding. HTH

Bill Pertwee who played Warden Hodges and the guy who played the Reverend are still alive

Bill Pertwee who played Warden Hodges and the guy who played the Reverend are still alive

 

As is the woman who played the part of Mrs Fox (much fancied by Cpl Jones)

One of my best friends hosted Bill Pertwee's 80th birthday party. True story.

Permission to speak, sir? Don't panic!!! They don't like it up-em sir. Don't suppose anyone could get away with referring to people as 'fuzzy-wuzzies these days. RIP.

[Gemmel]

[Ziggy]

Don't panic!

My thoughts entirely. A big part of my childhood Saturday evenings. RIP Clive.

Permission to speak Sir,

 

This song holds special memories for me, my own Grandfather passed away in '72 & this was still being regularly played on the radio, whenever I hear it I think of my own grandad.

Dads Army is one of the greatest shows ever produced by the BBC.

Rip L/cpl Jones & thanks for the memories.

I met him once in Vale do Lobo, Portugal. We went to the Barrington Country Club for a drink. His daughter had an art exhibition there and when he opened the door to welcome us he said " the drinks are on the house tonight and I am the house!" He was a pleasant man and made the point of going around to chat to all the people there. He told us he had a Restaurtant at Quartera and gave us his card.
