Dad's Army
It was sad to hear that Ian Lavender passed away over the weekend. He was the last surviving main cast member of Dad's Army. I thought Frank Williams was still alive - who played the reverend - but a quick check on Wikipedia revealed that he died a few years ago. A fun fact that I discovered while googling Dad's Army - and something I didn't know - is that Arnold Ridley (who played Private Godfrey)'s great-niece is Daisy Ridley (who played Rey in Star Wars). Second fun fact - an American remake, called The Rear Guard, had a pilot produced and broadcast, but nothing more.
