    Last episode with the final toast.

    Loved it when Jonesy said, "I know one thing. They're not walking straight through me!"

    They were plugging the remakes of the 3 lost episodes on TV earlier today.
    I hope they come out on dvd.

    I took this in Thetford about 2010. Some 'Stupid Boy' nicked his glasses.

    I have a particular interest in this wonderful series because Clive Dunn OBE was actually in my old regiment the IVth Queen's Own Hussars when he was taken prisoner in Greece.
    (and not-a-lotta-people-know-that)

    Cheers

    I saw an interview where he was asked about his wartime experience and he is not one of those who looked back fondly on the years. I suspect many feel the same way but feel duty-bound to parrot the 'our finest hour'/'we all pulled together'/best years of my life' version.

    Doubtless posted before, but a long thread to trawl...





    (I see the poll results went wrong, probably in the last software move. Might have to bin that... Gives the wrong impression )
