 RIP Bill Pertwee , the air warden , Mr Hodges , in Dads Army , has died aged 86 .
 A very funny man and very clever too . Always pleasant and good natured , shame we didn't see more of him over the years .
He was a cousin to Jon Pertwee (father of Sean) aka Dr Who and Wurzel Gummage , and also Micheal Pertwee , who wrote some of the ealing comedies .
 Put that light out !

Dad's Army can still be heard on Radio 4 extra and it's still as good as ever it was.

RIP Bill.
