Bit of a shame you want Peter Sellers instead.

1234182 2011-09-28 21:29:00 I have the full series of Dad's Army on DVD. I enjoy watching it. I think that in the real Army we had our moments of comedy when you are in a regimented situation. Bobh (5192)

But it was David Croft that had the inside in the BBC and got the series made etc.

I only just heard that they did Are You Being Served as well !

He/they have left us with some fabulous comedies.
