News about John Laurie

Ian Lavender, a dad's Army soldier, has described how the show's legendary cast members were so close that they revealed intimate details with each other that they'never told their wives.' The actor, 76, who played Private Frank Pike in the series, confessed that he told co-star John Laurie (who played Private James Frazer) that he would never reveal the information they shared. Dad's Army followed the exploits of the home guard during the Second World War, from 1968 to 1977, with some of the activities continuing today.
