schizoidwoman Posted November 7, 2012 #1 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Clive Dunn, best known as Corporal Jones in Dad's Army (and Grandad, to those of us of a certain age), has died at the age of 92. Dad's Army is a particular favourite of mine, RIP Corporal. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-20239694 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mistydawn Posted November 7, 2012 #3 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Crap, life goes on and all the sweet memories die with it. My Dad LOVED this series.... I have fond memories of him rushing his tea in the evenings, so that he could sit down to watch the programme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLastLazyGun Posted December 6, 2012 #8 Share Posted December 6, 2012 (edited) The irony is that Dunn was actually a member of Oswald Mosley's Hitler-supporting British Union of Fascists in the 1930s.

Ealdwita Posted December 6, 2012 #9 Share Posted December 6, 2012 The irony is that Dunn was actually a member of Oswald Mosley's Hitler-supporting British Union of Fascists in the 1930s. He was 14 when he joined the 'Blackshirts' - along with many other fellow pupils at the Sevenoaks School. As soon as he realised what Mosley stood for, Clive bailed out and became a staunch Left-winger for the remainder of his life. At the outbreak of WWII, he joined the 4th.Queen's Own Hussars and spent 4 years as a POW in Austria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pallidin Posted December 7, 2012 #10 Share Posted December 7, 2012 At the risk of sounding really stupid, I've never even heard of "Dad's Army" or Clive Dunn, and I was born in the 60's. Huh, too much weed I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
