"It had a great deal of reality to it"

Neil Sackley

Available for over a year

For decades, the work of David Croft & Jimmy Perry kept millions glued to their televisions. Their sitcoms were arguably some of the best in the world. Programmes such as Dad's Army, Hi De Hi and It Ain't Half Hot Mum defined a generation. Su Pollard, otherwise known as hapless chalet maid Peggy Hollerenshaw from Maplins told BBC Radio Solent's Neil Sackley about the fun they had whilst making the programmes.
