Corporal Jones (Clive Dunn) from Dad’s Army has died at the age of 92.

He's gone to stick it up the fuzzy wuzzys... They don't like it up em!

RIP Corporal Jones

In reply to Richard Smith: Don't Panic, don't Panic!

I always wondered how old he really was - He was playing granddad when I was at primary school, He was born in 1920 so must have only just turned 50 when he was playing Corporal Jones

In reply to toad: When I was young and watching Dad's Army my dad said he was still young... ya right I thought. Proves he was a good actor. Dad's Army still a great comedy and I still love to watch it.

In reply to Richard Smith:

In his late 40's when the show started I think.

In reply to Richard Smith:
Permission to wake you up, Sir!

In reply to JMGLondon:

I thought he'd died years ago!

In reply to coinneach:

me too

In reply to Richard Smith:
And now there's only Ian Lavender left of the army.

Stupid boy...

In reply to Skip: There are only two of the originaly cast left from Dad's Army, Pike and the Warden I think.

Am I missing something? What curse...

In reply to Richard Smith:

In addition to "Don't tell him Pike"
"Permission to worry you Sir?" always cracked me up. RIP

In reply to paul-1970:

Also Frank Williams (the vicar) and Bill Pertwee (the ARP warden).

In reply to Richard Smith: I never really watched that, but I used to watch Grandad when I was a kid.

In reply to Blizzard:

It's a viz thing...

In reply to Richard Smith:


James Beck who was one of the younger cast members died young,

In reply to deepsoup:

They weren't, of course, part of the Home Guard army!
