Dad’s Army Film 1971.

[mickd1961]

I was watching this tonight and decided to check up on the cast.

Arthur Lowe was 55-56 when he made this and was dead at 66.

He always looked old to me yet I’m now 3 years older than he was when he made this.

John Le Mesurier was 59 when he made this and dead at 71........he always looked old as well.

Bill Pertwee who played Hodges was only 45 when he made the film.

The vicar was 40.

Funny how tine stands still in films and we gradually catch them up when you think about it.

Harry Potter will be 40 before you know it.

I felt old at 45 but Roger Moore played his first outing as Bond at 45, so i felt that was some consolation. Now Ive reached the age when he last played Bond. The years are whizzing by

Maybe there is some analogy here between Dad's Army and our current team Mick.

I’d rather watch Dad’s Army than the current bunch of spineless losers

Same as watching us Bomber. Old has beens whose antics are laughable.

We have been watching some of the old Sherlock Holmes films tonight. Nigel Bruce was only in his forties when he played Dr Watson.
Dr Beaker from Supercar always looked old as well.

Did anyone who watched that Dads Army film notice the BBC put out a warning about discriminatory language at the start?

Apparently it was because the term fuzzy wuzzies was used.

Watched for the ump****th time the last episode of Ashes to Ashes on Drama, they chopped Gene Hunt saying ‘You dyke digging tosser’ when his Quattro was shot to pieces, snowflake society everywhere.
