      He is remembered for "dads Army"

      But do I remember him in an earlier programme?

        He was just as old in the Army Game. He never aged in 30 years

          Yes, I read this in the Portugal news as he lived for the past 35 years half an hour from here in Boliquieme.

            To be honest I thought he'd kicked the bucket ages ago! He looked 70 in Dads Army!
            Thoroughly nice fella. Pity TV can't replicate the kind of family humour that was around in the 70's like 'Some mothers do have em' 'The good life' and 'The likely lads' to name just a few.

              Don't panic, don't panic!

              :frown:

              The older I get, the more importance I attach to things which make me laugh: he made me laugh.
