Saddened to hear that Jimmy Perry, of It Ain't 'arf 'ot Mum, Hi de hi & Dad's army fame has passed away today at 93.

So very much harmless, gentle humour == still being aired on British T.V. even now.

Rest In Peace, Sir & Thank You

For me the work produced by Jimmy in partnership with the late David Croft remains the very best of british comedy.I thank him for the entertainment he has given to so many people for so many years.

Yes we thank him for all the entertainment he has given us for so many years. We are still enjoying Dads Army. He was brilliant.

Timeless humour.

Saw Ruth Madock being interviewed this morning and she said that they wrote lines specifically for the person playing the character........and it showed.

A great talent, his skill and humour will be sadly missed.

Sad news. His skill was in writing the right material for the right personnel. So many brilliant shows, so many brilliant gags. A great partnership with David Croft, the comedy has stood the test of time. I doubt we'll see their like again.

Jimmy Perry RIP.
