Private Pike

Portrayed By Ian Lavender

Private Frank Pike works in the daytime as a clerk at the bank. He is the youngest member of the platoon, and is very proud of the fact that he carries the Tommy gun. He takes it with him everywhere.

When The manager of the local cinema wouldn't let him in because it was a horror film, Pike said that if he was old enough to carry a Tommy gun, he was old enough to see Boris Karloff. He is an avid reader, and takes Hotspur, Wizard and Film Pictorial every week. His favourite Wireless programme is Happydrome. He likes it when Enoch says 'Let me tell you.' He say's, 'He's even more of a 'Stupid boy' than I am'.
