Dad's Army
Entry Added: Dec-18-2011 By: Peter Meerts
Dad's Army is a British sitcom about the Home Guard during the Second World War. It was written by Jimmy Perry and David Croft and broadcast onBBC television between 1968 and 1977. The series ran for 9 series and 80 episodes in total, plus a radio series, a feature film and a stage show. The series regularly gained audiences of 18 million viewers and is still repeated world wide.
The Home Guard consisted of local volunteers otherwise ineligible for military service, usually owing to age, and as such the series starred several veterans of British film, television and stage, including Arthur Lowe, John Le Mesurier, Arnold Ridley and John Laurie. Relative youngsters in the regular cast were Ian Lavender, Clive Dunn (who was made-up to play the elderly Jones), Frank Williams, James Beck (who died suddenly during production of the programme's sixth series, despite being one of the youngest cast members) and Colin Bean.
In 2004, Dad's Army was voted into fourth place in a BBC poll to find Britain's Best Sitcom. Previously, in a list of the 100 Greatest British Television Programmes drawn up by the British Film Institute in 2000, voted for by industry professionals, it was placed thirteenth.[1] The series has had a profound influence on popular culture in the United Kingdom, with the series' catchphrases and characters well known. It is also credited with having highlighted a hitherto forgotten aspect of defence during the Second World War. The Radio Times magazine listed Captain Mainwaring's "You stupid boy!" among the 25 greatest put-downs on TV.You need to be registered in order to add comments!
Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em
Entry Added: Dec-18-2011 By: Peter Meerts
Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em was a BBC situation comedy, written by Raymond Allen and starring Michael Crawford and Michele Dotrice.
The series followed the accident-prone Frank Spencer and his tolerant wife Betty through Frank's various attempts to hold down a job, which frequently end in disaster.
Noted for its stuntwork, as well as featuring various well-remembered catchphrases, the series was voted #22 in the BBC's poll to find "Britain's Best Sitcom"
The character of FrankThe wimpish smiling Frank, sporting his trademark beret and trench coat, was married to (apparently normal) Betty (Michele Dotrice) and in later series they had a baby daughter, Jessica, which offered scope for even more slapstick humour. Frank was a gift for impersonators, and for a time it became acliché that every half-decent impersonator was doing him, particularly his main catchphrase "Ooh Betty", which, although assumed in many references in popular culture, he never actually said.
This was not Frank's only catchphrase of the series. Others included a quavering "Oooh...", usually uttered with his forefinger to his mouth as he stood amidst the chaos of some disaster he had just caused (and which he himself had invariably escaped unscathed). He would also sometimes complain about being "ha-RASSed!", or occasionally, "I've had a lot of ha-RASSments lately" (perhaps surprisingly, most people now use this pronunciation, but this is probably more because of American influence). Other recurring catchphrases included references to "a bit of trouble", which usually implied some sort of undisclosed digestive disorder, and reference to the cat having done a "whoopsie" (on one occasion in Spencer's beret).
Despite his unfailing ability to infuriate people, Frank was essentially a very sympathetic character, who inspired as much affection from his audience as from his ever-loving and patient wife, Betty. The ability to convey this lovable aspect of his character - which meant that, crucially, the audience was always on Frank's 'side' - was a notable achievement of the writer and main actors. For all his extraordinary faults, we never doubted that Frank adored Betty and would do anything for her, and in their own way they were blissfully happy together. He also adored the memory of his late mother and - in later episodes - also worshipped his daughter, Jessica (named after his mother). Indeed, at times in the series there were some remarkably poignant moments amid the chaos, as for example the scene in which he serenades his young baby with a lullaby to send her to sleep.
For the final series, made five years after the previous one (although there had been two Christmas specials inbetween), Frank's character changed markedly. He became more self-aware, and keen to make himself appear more educated and well-spoken. He developed an air of pomposity which was always best demonstrated when someone would approach and enquire 'Mr Spencer?' to which he would always reply 'I am he'. He also became more self assured, and much more willing to argue back when criticised, and often win arguments by leaving his opponents dumbfounded by the bizareness of what he would say.
Acknowledging the show's success in Australia, the final series saw him begin talk of having relations there, and contemplating emigrating.
Crawford himself has talked of how he based many of Frank's reactions on those of a young child. Crawford also found it difficult to break out of the public association with the role, despite his later career as a hugely successful musical performer on the West End and Broadway stage, in popular shows such as Barnum and Phantom of the Opera.You need to be registered in order to add comments!
John Laurie (1897 - 1980) - Private Frazer (Dads Army)
Entry Added: Dec-18-2011 By: Peter Meerts
John was not destined for a career in the theatre. He started his career in architecture, until World War One took him away. He never expected to come out of it alive, and it was only when he had been invalided out that he became a sergeant-of-arms at the Tower of London. It was 1919 when John decided to become an actor in the theatre as a result of his passion for Shakespeare. He managed to play all the great Shakespearean roles at the Old Vic in London, before eventually being lured into films. A very young John Laurie appears in the famous Hitchcock thriller 'The Thirty Nine Steps' with Robert Donat. His career had taken off, and John was to appear in many films before his eventual call up to join the Dad's Army team, at a time when he was thinking about retiring! Considering his age at the time, John showed considerable vigour through out the series, others seemed to age while John remained the same, waiting for the others to catch up. He almost invented his catchphrase "we're doomed!", after the writers had heard him complaining about some aspect of a show being doomed to failureYou need to be registered in order to add comments!
