    Fondly remembered

    This was essential family viewing on a Friday night. My dad loved it, being ex army, and the success of the series over so many years is a tribute to the quality of the writing and the actors skills. I well remember Geoffrey Palmer making his occasional cameo appearances. As popular in its day as the later Dad's Army, and for similar reasons.
