    He's Dunn

    Actor Clive Dunn, best known for his role as Lance Corporal Jack Jones in Dad's Army, has died aged 92.

    I must confess, I thought he'd died years ago.

    I didn't think he was that old given that he was supposed to be much younger than the bloke he portrayed.

        That's probably because they sung "There's no one quite like Grandma" whereas Clive Dunn sung "Grandad"


        RIP Mr Dunn

          I think that is why they looked at me funny.

            In London last weekend and the hotel TV had something called the Yesterday channel on it and when I changed to it, Dads Army was just starting and I had to explain to Frau D. what it was all about (you want to see 'Allo 'Allo in German, fascinating)
