I don't know what made me think of this, I suppose it's the fact that both TEF and Dad's Army are full of quirky characters and intricate and slighly dark sub plots. That and the fact that, for some reason, I have always thought of Dazzzza as a modern day Sergeant Wilson.

So here we go. Dazzza is Sergeant Wilson (John Le Mesurier):

DV85 is Private 'We're all doomed, DOOMED' Fraser (John Laurie):

Mexico Red I think (rightly or wrongly) is a little bit 'waaaaaaay a little bit wooooooooah, a little bit daaaaaangerous' and therefore brings to mind Private Walker (James Beck)

Private 'Pikey' Pike (Ian Lavender): can only be the much loved and very much missed, Johno. "Don't tell 'em your name Pike!"

I have to say that these days I am finding myself to be in an almost perpetual state of confusion. Therefore, I have to be Private Godfrey.

Corporal 'Don't panic!' Jones, for me brings to mind the premanently angst ridden Sonic Youth:

And here's a tricky one. Captain Manwaring. I think that would have to be Whits, who, let's face it, is in charge of the whole shooting match:

And of course, moving to the Dark Side, Diamond Mike would have to be Warden Hodges:

'And finally' I really cannot decide whether Mike Bowden or Martin Starnes should take the role of be Verger Yeatman, you decide:

Well, frankly, I don't really think of you as angst ridden, I just couldn't think of anything else to say (lazy journalism Shrug )

I think Lloyd is like Private Sponge, always around but not much to say.
