Don't tell him your name Pike

I'm not sure why they are re-making it. WW2 was 70 years ago - it's not in anyone's conciousness any more. Sure the humour was good, but it was only really stuck because it was relevent to peoples' relatively recent war experiences, and their immediate families.

I'm not sure, Blackadder was successful and no-one lived through most of those times.

I don't think there's a limit to how far you can go back with good period comedy.

The Flintstones?

Will there still be references to 'Fuzzie Wuzzies'? I somehow don't think so...

Found this yesterday:

Dad's Army actor Arnold Ridley's son on how the show belittled his father's awesome heroism | Daily Mail Online

Don't quite know what to make of it.

I think I heard a version of that on R4.

Probably when his son was promoting the book.

I liked of this bit:

Once, as a young man, doing teaching practice as part of an education degree, he actually threw a headmaster out of a window.

He would have been very useful at my old skool. Popular too.

That's cos they don't like it up 'em.
