The guy was a pervert

​@@ricardiosentulio607 Have you any proof ?you clown🙄

He was a pervert

Not a gentlemen, a pervert

All of em

I agree how it's so sad that old people aren't immortal

he's an actor

The actual line is "Don't tell him Pike!"

​@@Euphoftoday Very pedantic.

What’s that supposed to mean?

I wouldn’t want it back. They got the cast perfect. It’s a pity that James Beck died when he did as the episodes without him seem quite hollow. Repeats are where it’s at!

Oh! Dad's Army I agree with you! I actually meant This Is Your Life.@@stickytapenrust6869

Only two and they will be published when their subjects pass on.

​@@stickytapenrust6869Can you at least tell us who?

@@theculturedthug6609 Weatherman Bill Giles from 1998 (which is incomplete) and actor Dave Willetts from 1991.

No, sorry. Just this and two other editions (Bill Giles and Dave Willetts), which will be published when they pass on.

Unfortunately, copyright law doesn’t agree with you because the actors were (and are) all freelance, so the law says the production company owns it - regardless of how it’s funded - because they are the ones with whom the artists had a freelance employment contract with, not the general public. The BBC - like all other public services - is not actually owned by the public in its most literal sense. Every public service is answerable to us and is funded by us but is not actually owned by us.

Still a shame but thanks for the explanation@@stickytapenrust6869

HE DIED FROM A HEART ATTACK, WHILE JUST SITTING. ??????????

Would you find it hard to believe that Dad’s Army has only been screened on local PBS stations late at night over there, like pretty much everything else British screened over there as PBS stations cater for minority interests and are only available in big cities IIRC. So they’re pretty “out of the way” for most Americans to watch. That’s even assuming their local PBS station even decided to show it…

@stickytapenrust6869 Thanks for the information My real point was that American humour is completely at odds with English humour. They don't really understand the level of self-deprecation involved in it, along with the English sensibility
