Don’t Panic

reports:

British actor Clive Dunn, best known as a bumbling old butcher in the popular World War II sitcom Dad's Army, has died.

Dunn passed away on Tuesday ( time), his agent Peter Charlesworth said, adding that he believed the actor died in Portugal where he has lived for many years. He was 92.

As Lance-Corporal Jones in Dad's Army – a hit series in the 1960s and 1970s about a group of local volunteer members of the Home Guard – Dunn was famous for catchphrases such as “Don't panic!” and “They don't like it up 'em.”

I was surprised he was still alive. His character looked old when Dad's Army was on TV, but in reality he was only in his late 40s!

I didn't realise Dad's Army ran for nine years. There were 80 episodes in total.

His character was my favourite one on the show.
