Dads Army was genius, in its time it as one of the funniest things on tv. Its certainly the funniest thing Croft and Perry wrote but thats not hard - the rest of their output being mostly shite - Hi-de-hi, that intensely annoying raiwlays station thing, Allo Allo. Croft & Perry have a formula thats mostly shite but it worked with Dads Army because of the characters / actors. Thats the other thing about C&P, when they had a hit series they milked it to death, they never knew when to stop, so we look back and really hate most of their stuff. Dads Army is the exception though
