The vicar, the woman who played Pike's mum and Gillian Taylforth who appeared as a very young girl in one episode. My dad met Arthur Lowe in a pub in Thetford when they were filming. Said he and his wife were 'very odd' and kept ordering Grand Marniers. |  |

I thought the woman who played Pike's mum in the series died in the 80s (or 90s)? Maybe Pike's Mum from the film although wasn't that Liz Fraser and I know she died Frank Williams played the Reverend Timothy Farthing and obviously Ian Lavender are still alive |  | |  |

One of the Dad's Army writers was concerned Ridley was an alcoholic, as his hand kept shaking uncontrollably. Ridley had actually been shot through that hand during the Battle of the Somme. |  |

Mrs Lowe certainly liked a drink. If anybody is a big fan of Dads Army, the appreciation society (DAAS) would welcome new members, only thirteen pounds per year. www.dadsarmy.co.uk |  |
