The god-damn awful David Walliams would make a camp Pike.

 

Nah, Pike is funny because he's a boy. Walliams is 40 odd.

 

So, who will be Cpl Jones? Walliams, oddly enough, isn't too far from the age Dunn was when Dad's Army kicked off.

I would have Anthony Hopkins in heavy make-up (to make him look more chubby-faced) as Mainwaring. John Hurt as Sgt. Wilson. Eddie Redmayne as Pike (just so that gormless bastard can finally have a role someone can actually remember).

 

Er..... no idea who to have as Jones. Would be a bit blasphemous to try and attempt to cast that wouldn't it? In both British comedy terms and DL terms.

The advantage of this remake is that it will provide us with another pool of elderly actors to list in the future.

 

I think Bill Nighy and Toby Jones will be unlikely to deliver (especially considering his fathers longevity) but Tom Courtney and Michael Gambon must already be on many lists.

 

I did think that Michael Gambon was inspired casting as Godfrey, if you don't belive me watch the recent BBC adaptation of Emma where he plays Mr Woodhouse, normally the character is treated as a joke but his performance is really moving they all understand how the character thinks.

We can't have a Clive Dunn thread without a Clive Dunn smiley, so here it goes:
