not606, dads army

IF WE HAD TO MAKE AN EPISODE OF DADS AMY, WHO WOULD PLAY THE PARTS OF......


Capt George Mainwaring


George Mainwaring is the pompous manager of the Swallow Bank in Walmington-On-Sea. When the Local Defence Volunteer Force is set up, he appoints himself Captain of the Walmington-On-Sea platoon.

He sees himself as a natural-born leader of men. The Grammar school educated son of a draper, he served as a 2nd Lieutenant in the First World War, arriving in France two days after the Armistice was signed.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sgt Arthur Wilson


Arthur Wilson is Chief Clerk at the Swallow Bank. He's the Sergeant in the Walmington-On-Sea platoon of the Home Guard.

A fairly diffident, languid character, he tends to take most things in his stride.

Mainwaring resents the fact that Wilson comes from a privileged, public school background.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

L/Cpl Jack Jones


Jack Jones is the local butcher. He's the Lance-Corporal in the Walmington-On-Sea platoon of the Home Guard.

Jack is an old soldier with over 30 years service.

He brings boundless enthusiasm to everything he does and tends to be a compulsive volunteer.

His catchphrases are "Don't panic!" and "They don't like it up 'em".

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pte Jock Frazer

Frazer is the local undertaker.

A dour Scot, he's always very cynical, with a naturally gloomy disposition.

He also tends to be a compulsive spreader of rumours.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pte Frank Pike


Frank Pike is a Clerk at the Swallow Bank. He's the youngest member of the Walmington-On-Sea platoon of the Home Guard.

He's something of a mummy's boy - his mother tends to mollycoddle him.

He has a habit of irritating Captain Mainwaring, who constantly refers to him as a "stupid boy".

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pte Joe Walker


Joe Walker is the local "wide boy".

If you want something, however scarce, Joe Walker can usually be relied on to get it for you - no questions asked - provided the price is right.

Joe is something of a "ladies' man", with a liking for young blondes.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pte Charles Godfrey


Godfrey is very much the old-fashioned gentleman. 35 years of service in men's outfitting has left him with an ingrained sense of politeness.

He's quite frail and has constant problems with his bladder.

He lives in a cottage with his two spinster sisters, Dolly and Cissy.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Warden William Hodges


Hodges is the local greengrocer.

He's the Chief Warden with the Walmington-On-Sea ARP unit.

He has a very low opinion of 'Napoleon' Mainwairing and his 'geriatric' platoon.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Reverend Timothy Farthing


The Reverend Farthing is the Vicar of St. Aldhelm's Church, Walmington-On-Sea.

He's an ineffectual, rather huffy man who lacks the patience to be a particularly good pastor. He likes a drink, sometimes overindulging according to the Verger. His passion is bell-ringing - not something he can practice while there's a war on.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Maurice Yeatman, Verger


Mr Yeatman is the Verger of St. Aldhelm's Church, Walmington-On-Sea.

He's very fond of gossip and spends much of his time fawning to the vicar and 'telling tales' on Mainwaring.

 

Wouldnt know where to start, my dad used to love dads army, but I couldnt stand it, I'm more a Fawlty Towers man.

Godfrey................I'm going for GBsafc4eva, simply because of the bladder problems link, as this character always seems to try to take the piss.
Hodges............I'll go for Cestria because of the unbending nature that both portray.
Rev. Farthing......That will be me, because I too like a drink and our lass reckons I'm pretty ineffectual when I do so.
Verger............ It has to be Black Cat Kiwi because he was the first one to spill the beans on Barton..

 

Ha,

Now, i'm certainly not against blondes..

Overlooked for both the forum 1st XI and the Dad's Army squad.

I'm beginning to fear that the man in the mirror is lying when he tells me I'm the best looking, most likeable and charismatic person ever.

 

OK Bobby, don't get paranoid about it mate

 

You can be an extra if you want Disco How does the part of the German Para sound? I can just see you hanging off the town hall clock
