Memento Mori 12 Posted August 24, 2010 Clive was out and about signing his book at a charity do a couple of weeks ago. Back for some more signatures and few glasses of Madeira a year later. He must have discovered the elixir of life Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bored at Work 1 Posted January 11, 2011 As a long-time lurker, I felt compelled to register myself as a commentator, and to register my dismay and disappointment that no one remembered it was Clive's birthday was on Sunday. Happy belated birthday Clive, you old tease!! I hope you all feel suitably ashamed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,506 Posted January 11, 2011 Actually I saw it mentioned in the paper. He's a 91 year old tease. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bored at Work 1 Posted January 11, 2011 Actually I saw it mentioned in the paper. He's a 91 year old tease. Which means his age on the list is now twice as wrong as it was... (btw, having spent part of my childhood on holiday near Maryport, I can only agree with your sig. Silloth, on the other hand, rocked.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(btw, having spent part of my childhood on holiday near Maryport, I can only agree with your sig. Silloth, on the other hand, rocked.) Corporal Jones is now as old as the the part he played in Dad's Army. Good one Clive - there's only you, Pikey, Warden Hodges, Mrs Fox & the Vicar left!

JR976evil 905 Posted January 21, 2011 I think it's largely due to his ubiquity on here that people are aware that he is actually still alive! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Finch 0 Posted January 22, 2011 Corporal Jones is now as old as the the part he played in Dad's Army. Good one Clive - there's only you, Pikey, Warden Hodges, Mrs Fox & the Vicar left! My guess is that he'll outlast them all (including Pike) and be the last to go. Good on you Clive and (very) belated 91st birthday wishes to you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spade_Cooley 9,415 Posted January 22, 2011 Wonder if we'll get a BBC4 "Tears Behind The Laughter" docudrama in the style of the ones about Hattie Jacques, Kenneth Williams and Wilfrid Brambell when Dunn carks it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Bearer 6,023 Posted January 22, 2011 Wonder if we'll get a BBC4 "Tears Behind The Laughter" docudrama in the style of the ones about Hattie Jacques, Kenneth Williams and Wilfrid Brambell when Dunn carks it. Has there been any controversy in Dunns life? Did he look for 'friendship' in toilets? Did his wife take in a 'lodger'? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Has there been any controversy in Dunns life? Did he look for 'friendship' in toilets? Did his wife take in a 'lodger'? Pretty sure it's legally impossible to libel the dead, so they could go to town. Alternatively, maybe it could be the story of a man's quest to battle his own mortality despite the second Google result for him being a bunch of people talking about when he's gonna exeunt.

JR976evil 905 Posted March 23, 2011 We all know Clive Dunn will never die so I feel this is a wasted entry on the Deathlist. He may have survived being a POW and be one of the sole survivors of Dad's Army but he can't outrun the reaper forever... I'm fascinated by how he generates so much interest on here, in spite of the fact that he has been retired for almost 3 decades and been little heard from since, contrast this with Anna Wing who continues to make fairly regular appearances and is several years closer to receiving a Royal telegram (and/or her maker perhaps???).
