I met Windsor Davies in the bar of the Angel Hotel on Cardiff after an International rugby match. We had a tot and a chat. Great fun and, helped by a Wales win, the mood was happiness.
As for the tv show....it was over the top characterisation with a few funny bits. All kinds of predictable characters from upper class twits as officers to social, racial, gender type casting and acting.
Dad’s Army is on repeats at the moment and still makes me laugh. Allo’Allo’ had archi typical characters too but again is brilliant.
You tube is a good place to watch programmes that would now be dodgy. Benny Hill....Dick Emery...Kenny Everrett.....even old Top of the Pops! ( if only to see examples of the then acceptable(?) portrayal of the audience.
