Artwork from the "...To See Such Fun!" programme featuring the four main stars on a merry-go-round. The image of Clive Dunn is a picture of him as Jonesy!

At the height of his popularity as Lance Corporal Jones in Dad's Army and recently riding high in the pop charts with "Grandad", Clive Dunn also featured in this variety show staged at the London Paladium in 1971.

To See Such Fun was headed by comedian Tommy Cooper and also featured everyone's favourite TV girl of the time Anita Harris and pianist Russ Conway as well as acrobatic funsters The Stupids.

The programme reveals Clive Dunn's contribution to the show included a sketch entitled "The Anniversary" in which he portrayed his 'Bootsie & Snudge' character - Old Johnson along with Dorothy Dampier as The Lady.

Clive later returns before the finale though no further information is revealed on this, it might be safe to assume he possibly recited some of his comical stories and probably even sang songs from his recently recorded album - Permission To Sing Sir!.

The programme includes a single page biography of Clive and a photograph of Clive in "Grandad" mode (as illustrated above).

Written and researched by Andy Howells.
