    Reflecting on the comedy’s success, TV channel Gold revealed: “10 Things You Didn’t Know About Dad’s Army.”

    One little known fact read: “When approached for the role of Captain Mainwaring, Arthur Lowe was a little wary of being involved in comedy that was too lowbrow.

    “He insisted on a clause in his contract specifying that he would never have to appear on the show without his trousers. 

    “When the first episode of series six included a scene where a grenade ends up down Mainwaring’s trousers, Lowe refused to go ahead with it.”
