I can't say I liked any of the characters Dunn played in anything - my favourite part by far of Dad's Army was the interaction between Arthur Lowe and John Le Mesurier.

As a Leyther, you’re one of us the moment you come here to wear the shirt. I don't care where you were born, what colour you are, what religion you are, what language you speak. You're one of us, part of our culture, writing our history as you create your own, and making us stronger for it....

Agreed - although the other two genuine 'old-boys', Frazer and Godfrey were very well observed characters - brilliantly over played by John Laurie, and beautifully underplayed by Arnold Ridley.

Didn't do a lot for me either. Probably b'cos I wasn't a great Dads Army fan.

My paternal grandfather was in the Home Guard. He'd sit and chuckle away at it – always said it was absolutely spot on.

My dad was in the Home Guard for a year at 17 years of age while he waited to join up "for real".

He always compared himself to Pike and they did genuinely patrol reservoirs at night with broomstick handles.

Another Clive Dunn fact: he was briefly a member of Oswald Mosley's British Union of Fascists before becoming a life-long socialist

My grandfather was so short sighted he wasn't allowed to join up "for real" (thanks for the genetic myopia, granddad).

Thank goodness they never did face an invasion.

My granddad at least had a wooden rifle (or so he said) when he was working for the gas board and 'guarding' vital infrastructure.
