In 1997, Virgin books published the biography in paperback, giving the book a new title and a new photo cover of Arthur as Captain Mainwaring.

For nine years Arthur Lowe entertained Britain as the bumbling, indignant Captain Mainwaring of Dad's Army. His Comic genius mean't the show became a classic and secured him a very special place in the British public's heart.

But while his long career, which began in an army entertainment field unit, took him to the heights of British stage, film and TV success, his home life was considerably more complicated. Held back by the increasingly erratic and demanding behavior of his wife, Lowe struggled to maintain his career, health and tempestuous marriage.

In this candid and touching biography, Arthur Lowe's son undergoes a voyage of discovery. Hugely enjoyable and revealing, this is nostalgic and deeply poignant biography of one of Britain's best loved and most fondly remembered character actors.
