Dad's Army features in top 25 'Classic Put Downs'

You Stupid Boy!


The classic put-down 'You Stupid Boy' has been included in a list of classic television put-down lines prepared by the Radio Times. This story was reported at the end of last month in a number of media publications - the Daily Telegraph published an article on the 27th February and included David Croft's comments on the development of comedy on TV over the years. The article is available here or by clicking on the Telegraph's logo above.

Sky News also reported the story on 26th February but in less detail. Read the article by clicking here or on the Sky News logo. This article also features link to a video interview with Leslie Grantham when he was promoting the stage play last September.

"You stupid boy" only came in at number 25 on the list - although practically every news agency that reported the story led with the 'Stupid Boy' quotation, or included a prominent picture from Dad's Army in their article!
