Avis à la une
I absolutely adore this I discovered about years ago when I was 21 and still love it. Windsor Davies is an absolute delight. The send up of British officers is great and Don Estelle was a criminally underrated singer. Michael Bates also deserves a mention despite the criticism of his character it's worth pointing out he was born in India and is a wonderful character in his own right. This is a classic and for those who aren't easily offended you'll have a wonderful time.
Dad's Army may be a classic but this series by the same scriptwriters involving a similar but more youthful crowd of army misfits generally has more laughs per episode and is a lot funnier. The scene after the closing titles where Sergeant Major Williams barks "shut up" at Char Wallah Mohammed never ceases to be funny. The series lost something when Michael Bates died (you know, there's an old Hindu proverb....). Don Estelle has a marvellous singing voice and another running joke in the programme was the performances where he played romantic heroes like Nelson Eddy or Ivor Novello and he'd have Melvyn Hayes (Gloria) as his leading lady. This programme has been frequently criticised as racist but frankly the various Indians, Malaysians and Burmese who used to appear in it were usually portrayed as smarter and more sorted out than the Sergeant Major and his platoon. Sergeant Major Williams has a fair bit of trouble with the King's English (degrading to the Welsh?), Gunner Atlas Mackintosh takes offence very quickly, particularly with Gloria (insulting to Scots?) and Captain Ashwood is an upper-class twit (so that degrades the English?). The BBC seems to show Dad's Army practically every waking day and "It Ain't Half Hot Mum" should be seen more often too. It's a classic and has a big fan following.
The series has been rerun by Dutch TV lately, and really, it was in fact the only program I really enjoyed 5 times a week for a long time. Lovely boys, lovely series!!!!! The show has lost none of its freshness, wit and edge. SM Williams as the prototype British drill sergeant and the bedraggled concert party which remind me a lot of the stories depicted in Spike Milligan's war memoirs. The final episode with the demob scenes I found very touching. It was very realistically depicted with the war heroes returning to a drab Blythe and viewed with disdain and even contempt by the civvies they were "protecting".
I really hope that the BBC will air the show again. I miss it!!!!

acting very good windsor davies very good as williams and others actors were very good I like it I thought the writing is good very good series
This had people rolling around laughing in the 1970s and for good reason. It was very funny and totally politically incorrect which made it even better. No one was offended by it back then - even the targets of its jokes but in today's climate thin skinned professionally offended whackjobs absolutely would be. Hilarious.
Le saviez-vous
- AnecdotesUnlike contemporaneous 1970s sitcoms such as Dad's Army (1968), Porridge (1974) and The Good Life (1975), the BBC does not show repeats of It Ain't Half Hot Mum, allegedly due to its politically incorrect content, which is regarded as badly dated. Before his death, writer Jimmy Perry criticized this, saying the series represents "the historical truth" and helps people understand an important part of history and the changes which came about. He said the BBC was "taking the cowardly way out" by not showing it.
- GaffesIt's often quite obvious that John Clegg, as Gunner Graham, is miming his playing of the piano.
