'As the art mistress said to the gardener.' Marlene - or was it Monica? It was prolly Monica. Both the wonderful Beryl Reid. (I often use this myself.)

I'm playing all the right notes......but not necessarily in the right order. Eric Morcambe

My favourite at the moment is FFS !

I am very much looking forward to the upcoming film to see if they can re-create the magic of the original.

You know what? I doubt it will be even near. With all the PC bull these days they won't be able to say the really funny stuff.

More Dad's army:

"It's no good you try and give me falseys" (Polish officer)
"Don't tell him, Pike!”

"Who rang that bell" - bus conductor sketch - English or Read?

Loud introductory signature tune, last bars repeated over and over - followed by, in a loud, exasperated voice -

Talking of famous catch-phrases, I think Mona Lot (who was the charwoman) was also the origin of "Shall I do you now, sir?"

Er, no - that was Mrs Mopp: 'Can I do you now, sir?'

ITMA was full of catch phrases e.g.:

'I don't mind if I do!' - Colonel Chinstrap

"The day the war broke out......my wife....said to me" Sandy Powell? not sure

'The day war broke out...' was Robb Wilton.

Sandy Powell's catch phrase was 'Can you 'ear me, mother?'

Remember Jimmy Clitheroe? - 'Don't some mother's 'ave 'em?' and 'I'm all there with me cough drops'.
