Clive
Dunn appeared as his most celebrated character on the front
of his autobiography. |
Permission
to Speak is the autobiography of one of Britains best-loved
comedians.
Taking its title from his immortal catch-phrase as Lance -
Corporal Jones in Dad's Army, Permission to Speak is the life
story of an actor whose roots are firmly founded in music
hall - Clive Dunn's grandfather was a comedian and comic songwriter
in the 1880's and both his parents, Connie Clive and Bobby
Dunn, performed and presented tours in the 1920's and '30's...
it
is for his classic role as Lance Corporal Jones in the long
running series Dad's Army in which he starred with John
Le Mesurier and Arthur Lowe that he is best and most affectionately
remembered. He was awarded the OBE in 1975.
This
witty and candid autobiography entertainingly recalls a
full and varied career both on and off the stage.
