    Probably the best acting-drunk I’ve ever seen, what a talent the man was.

      He also played Capt Mainwaring's brother in one episode and he's drunk too. I thought him an excellent drunk then too!

    A comedy masterclass from Arthur Lowe.

      p28, agreed, it is damn hard.
      Some mates and I managed it one night on an Army exercise (dressed as civilians) to get up close to a regular Army APC crew. Regardless of the lack of alcohol on our breath, after a close moment or two, we just managed to pull it off.

    He should have got a BAFTA for this alone. They were all great but everything revolved around Arthur Lowe, he was awesome. Can't imagine Dads Army without him

    I wonder if the other actors were genuinely laughing at Arthur's performance.
    Geoffrey Lumsden certainly looked like he was struggling to control himself.

    They cut the bit where Captain Square says "drain the glass" and Captain Mainwaring says "Alright I'll drain the bl**dy glass!" and pours it on Square's head.
