Guest entitled little cunt Posted February 5 Report Share Posted February 5 The last of that great cast of Dads Army has gone .I always steer very clear of anyone who doesn't like that iconic introspective reflection of Britishness.The script was perfect but even more perfect was the casting .I'm going to binge on it in homage. We're doomed , Stupid Boy , they dont like it up 'em , can I be excused ?.The BBC has taken it upon itself to ban some of the episodes for " inappropriate views and language " We obviouy need to be protected from outstanding comedy .Fucking cunts .Meanwhile Lenny Henry is kept very busy .

ChildeHarold Posted February 5 Report Share Posted February 5 One of the problems with modern comedy it doesn't really have the ingredients for a situation comedy. In effect, it's not really funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like how Dawn French once mistook a bowel evacuation for Lenny’s progeny and started breast feeding it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Freudian slippage of Swiss avalanche proportions. Excuse me from this conversation I just have to check my bladder while singing God Save The King. Episode Two: Harry arrives at Buckingham Palace.

There was some mocking aspects to this series but on the whole it actually took itself seriously. Incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dads army may seem rather quaint, old fashioned and dare I say it , unfunny to today's numbskulls .They equate the words hero , brave and duty to characters in Game of thrones , Harry Potter or some silly computer game .They have become americanised .They are instructed what to think , what is funny and when to laugh .A performance has to be explained. The use of one's imagination to join the dots I'm afraid is a thing of the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harmless fun, well acted, well scripted and the running joke is no way could they have stopped the Germans but they would have died trying. I found the spin off film a bit of a stretch and the recent reincarnation with new actors pretending to be the old cast absolutely nauseating. It just proves today the sense of humour has gone. Cringeworthy. Things like The Detectorists don't come close. I must say I thoughr that seies Our Country with the brother and sister with the vicar in a Cotswald villlage was funny.

I liked the original film , it got a bit slap stick in places but I liked to see Mainwering displaying just how brave he really was , the end was very funny , on the cliff , " we'll fight them no matter how they arrive, by sea , by parachute....Then Jones says ..." or up between our legs " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Mainwaring was always shown as a bumbling fool but he would have had the bottle to stand in the high street with a Vickers in his hands facing German paratroopers. Also, remember the episode where a bomb had gone off trapping a couple of the troop in a bunker. They drew lots to find out who was going to go in clear the debris. It was him and godfrey to draw last and he drew the blank piece of paper leaving Godfrey to draw the one with the cross on it. He pretended he had drawn it so Godfrey wouldn't have to go in. That showed his character. "This is what we're fighting for, Wilson"! What he would have thought about the likes of that bearded cunt crying because he thought he was voted off of the X-Factor god only knows 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny how even the characters that were supposed to be not very likeable like the Spiv and the mean Scotsman, even the Verger, were actually likeable. Amazing. Something to do with the standard of acting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something to do with the standard of acting. The spiv was my favourite. He put me in mind of a kindly uncle who makes you laugh and brings you a prezzie. Arthur Lowe was a piss artist who wife died of alcoholism. Arnold Ridley's son I think wrote a book about it all. They used to go location shooting for two weeks every series. They used to have a big piss up and dinner on the last night. Lowes wife stood up and started giving a speech but then slid under the table pissed.

Stratford Johns (who I think was great in everything) snd his wife had that sort of ding dong going. Apparently they also ran a small hotel in Soho for years that specialised in actors lodgings. God knows what that was like, probably similar to that guest house in Seaford in tv comedy Stella Street. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flawed but good characters , vulnerable in some ways but as solid as rock when it counted .The cunts now bear their soul like readers wife's bear their Portuguese man of War fanny in Razzle.Nothing is left to the imagination , its all on display for the world to see. Its all tears, great big flaps and woe is me, fucking cunts they are . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read tge theatrical lodgings thing in a Guardian obituary. According to a young girl in the West End for first time who stayed there he was a perfect gentleman and very helpful. Great actor, his Magwick in David Copperfield is the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
