Versatile Arthur Lowe
The versatile Arthur Lowe doubles up as the
inimitable Captain Mainwaring. and his “black sheep of the family” brother in Thursday night's “Dad's Army Christmas Special” on TV2. Mainwaring decides that as it is so close to Christmas, the Home Guards should hold a sherry party and invite the local dignitaries. • But at the same time he is concerned the men
might not behave in “quite the proper manner'’ so he gives them one of his famous little chats, suggesting they follow the example of the Mainwaring family — celebrate in moderation. Little does he realise his rather delicate situation is about to be disrupted with the arrival of his rather vulgar, rude and drunken brother, Barry.
