Dad's Army revisited

As a huge fan of Dad's Army (both TV and radio) I've observed with interest the modern versions - film, remade lost episodes and the drama "We're Doomed The Dad's Army Story". One thing that's struck me has been that Godfrey is consistently the most faithfully depicted character - I'd say that Godfrey and his sisters are the only decent thing in the film - whereas Pike is practically un-castable. Shows what a brilliant job Ian Lavender did with the original. Such affronted innocence.
