Personal Quote:

[on missing out on the part of Corporal Jones in Dad's Army] Bill Cotton was having drinks with Clive Dunn and hired him. Co-writer/producer David Croft protested. But Cotton said, 'David Jason? Who's he? Clive Dunn has a much better reputation.' What a blow that was, I tell you. I was bitterly disappointed, but that's showbusiness. See more »

Trivia:

He was awarded an O.B.E. (Officer of the Order of British Empire) for his services to drama. See more »
