Mainwaring The Brave - Dad's Army
Here I'm briefly looking at the character of Captain Mainwaring in Dad's Army, played by Arthur Lowe.
Mainwaring is a pompous, snobby, vain man, and it's a testament to the writing and performance that despite those traits he comes across as likeable and even brave. The character feels nuanced and well rounded, still comical, but piercingly real.
Dad's Army ran from 1968-1977, and was also a radio show, stage show, and a movie.

David Croft (7 september 1922 – 27 september 2011)
Jimmy Perry (20 September 1923 – 23 October 2016)
Authenticity is vital to Perry, who remembers the time he was at Rada, rehearsing with fellow actors, when a secret onlooker turned out to be George Bernard Shaw. “He said, ‘I enjoyed your show tremendously. I laughed a lot. But you’ve got to understand one rule of comedy: you must have reality, otherwise it’s rubbish.’” In any case, thanks to its successful repeats Dad’s Army is guaranteed immortality. But to what does Perry attribute our enduring love of Captain Mainwaring and co? “It’s because we reminded the British people of their finest hour. It had wobbly back projection and cardboard scenery, but also the truth… and great artists that brought it to life.”
Simon Blackwell ‘To create comedy that generations of people genuinely love is rare, and he managed it time and again’. Perry’s work on the show – along with that of the producer, David Croft – created one of the most popular British television programmes of all time’.
Jack Dee ‘Amazing contribution to British telly. Watched Dad's Army only yesterday. Still as funny as when I watched it as a kid.’
Vicki Michelle ‘a brilliant comedy writer & true gentleman. He leaves us such a legacy’
Ian Lavender ‘Jimmy, he has been a part of my life for such a long time. ‘He was half of one amazing partnership, it brings back so many wonderful memories… lots of good times together with much laughter…’
David Schneider ‘Thanks to Jimmy Perry for the sublime Dad’s Army, the perfect sitcom, and for making me laugh for over 40 years.’
Shane Allen, BBC controller of comedy commissioning, said: ‘Jimmy Perry is a Goliath of British comedy writing. His work will be enjoyed and appreciated for many years to come’.
Miranda Hart ‘Thank you Jimmy Perry. You made our world a funnier and brighter place.’
Nigel Farage tweeted: Jimmy Perry created and co-wrote the fantastic Dad's Army, my favourite comedy of all time.'
Tom Watson 'We grew up laughing at Jimmy Perry's hilarious characters. One of our greatest TV writers who will not be forgotten.'
Ruth Madoc ‘Being on set was quite hard work, but great fun. We weren’t allowed to laugh. One particular series we’d been naughty giggling on set. This didn’t go down very well with David and Jimmy, so they made us T-shirts saying, ‘Comedy is a serious business’. We were told in no uncertain terms’.
Frank Williams “Dad’s Army was one of the happiest periods of my life, it was a wonderful role to work on.”
TV comedy producer Jon Plowman said, “The quality of his work was consistently brilliant”, adding that Jimmy and his co-writer David Croft came as a package. He described them as “comedy revolutionaries”, saying, “They made it look easy; we know it is not.”
Chris Jarvis ‘this sitcoms are pure gold & will live on.’
Jeffrey Holland ‘There is no doubt that he and David created some of the most memorable and iconic characters and moments in television sitcom history and as such, has left us with a wonderful legacy we can look back on for many years to come. I am proud to have been a part of so many of his series’.
Mark Braxton ‘There is a light that never goes out - and its name is Jimmy Perry’
Perry admits to being bowled over by the continuing success of his Home Guard comedy: “Isn’t it amazing? Let me tell you, I’m overwhelmed.”
Appointed an OBE in 1978, Jimmy Perry published his autobiography, A Stupid Boy, in 2002 and received a British Comedy award for lifetime achievement in 2003.

Simon Blackwell ‘To create comedy that generations of people genuinely love is rare, and he managed it time and again’. Perry’s work on the show – along with that of the producer, David Croft – created one of the most popular British television programmes of all time’.

David Schneider ‘Thanks to Jimmy Perry for the sublime Dad’s Army, the perfect sitcom, and for making me laugh for over 40 years.’
Shane Allen, BBC controller of comedy commissioning, said: ‘Jimmy Perry is a Goliath of British comedy writing. His work will be enjoyed and appreciated for many years to come’.

This didn’t go down very well with David and Jimmy, so they made us T-shirts saying, ‘Comedy is a serious business’. We were told in no uncertain terms’.
Frank Williams “Dad’s Army was one of the happiest periods of my life, it was a wonderful role to work on.”

As we continue to look back on the show with fondness, we remember the impact it had on British culture and the world at large. Its legacy continues to inspire new generations of writers and actors, and its influence can still be seen in many modern comedies. Like some true classics, Dad's Army had a shaky start. Set during World War II, it followed the exploits of a group of volunteer soldiers tasked with defending the fictional town of Walmington-on-Sea from a potential German invasion.
Despite its shaky start, the show became a massive success and a cultural phenomenon in Britain. Nevertheless, the show became immensely popular, capturing the imagination of the British public.
However, it also had its fair share of controversy among the new generation.
The popular British sitcom, which first aired in 1968, caused controversy in 2021 when it was shown on the BBC. A warning was issued to viewers stating that the show contained "discriminatory language," which led to backlash from fans of the show. Many took to social media to express their outrage at the warning, with some questioning what lines were deemed discriminatory. The controversy prompted a BBC spokesperson to clarify that the warning was due to a specific remark that was made during the show.
While its controversy may or may not be remembered in the history of the show's reruns, the story of its lost episodes will not be forgotten. Although it is unfortunate that these episodes were lost; the fact that they were recreated is a testament to this classic comedy series' enduring popularity and cultural significance.
