<Li> Private Hastings - Hugh Hastings </Li> <P> These were played by Leslie Noyes, Vic Taylor, Freddie White, Freddie Wiles, Hugh Cecil, Richard Jacques, Peter Whitaker, Alec Coleman, Frank Godfrey, Michael Moore, Evan Ross, William Gossling, Vernon Drake, Graham Hamilton, David Seaforth and Jimmy Mac, among others . </P> <Ul> <Li> Mrs. Yeatman (Olive Mercer) (series 3 - 9) - Yeatman's forbidding wife . In "War Dance" Mrs Yeatman is referred to as Anthea, while in "Knights of Madness", her name is Tracy, and in "Everybody's Trucking" her name is Beryl . She appeared from time to time, mostly in situations when she was able to express impatience: for example, as a member of an over-large committee planning a social function or in a queue in the butcher's shop of Lance Corporal Jack Jones . She led the Walmington on Sea ladies netball team . It emerged, after Mrs Yeatman had caught her husband taking an afternoon's ride on a motor - cycle with the flirtatious Mrs Fox, that, somewhat improbably, she herself was involved in an extramarital relationship with the elderly Sidney Blewett (Harold Bennett) </Li> <Li> Sidney Blewitt (Harold Bennett) (series 3 - 9) - Mr. Blewitt was an elderly gentleman who, despite being retired, held a variety of part - time jobs . During the series, he was seen as a photographer and the vicar's gardener, but often as a passer - by who became involved in the platoon's escapades . Sidney is referred to as Norman by Mrs. Yeatman in "Everybody's Trucking". He also had a brother called Horace, and mentions a wife in "When Did You Last See Your Money?" </Li> <Li> Mr Claude Gordon (Eric Longworth) (series 5 - 9) - the efficient but pompous town clerk, described by Wilson as a "silly bald - headed old duffer". Involved in administrative issues in the town, he has a penchant for saying things are "very nice". </Li> <Li> The Mayor of Walmington (Fred McNaughton) - Walmington's highest public official . His appearances usually involve playing the straight man to his excitable Town Clerk . Once when watching a keep - fit display, he responds to Mr Gordon's remark of "that's very nice" with a straight - laced "Yes, if you like that sort of thing". He also takes part, in full ceremonial dress, in a thrilling train - chase in the episode "The Royal Train". There are allusions to a habit of making long - winded speeches, but it's Captain Mainwaring who makes those allusions . In reality, the Mayor cuts it short, while Mainwaring is the one who tends to long winded speeches . </Li> <Li> Edith Parish, or Shirley, (Wendy Richard) (series 4 - 6) - Walker's recurring girlfriend appeared in 4 episodes . Edith (although she is referred to as Shirley in "The King was in his Counting House" and "My British Buddy") is a cinema usherette and was played up to be a bit of a' tart' . In particular, she annoys Mainwaring by suggesting that he fancies her . </Li> <Li> Janet King (Caroline Dowdeswell) (series 1) - a young blonde female employee at Mainwaring's bank . According to the series' creator David Croft, she was introduced at a fairly late stage in the scripting because the BBC's head of comedy Michael Mills believed that the programme needed a "soupçon of sex". </Li> <Li> Elizabeth Mainwaring (Unseen character) - Captain Mainwaring's wife, never seen or heard directly; she "hasn't left the house since Munich". Her presence is mainly felt by her telephone calls to her husband . The nearest we get to seeing her is in one episode where we hear her footsteps, and another where we see her very large posterior hanging down above Mainwaring when they are in bunks in an air raid shelter, giving a clue to her figure . Wilson is the only one who has ever met her, but when asked to describe her, he cannot, although he admits she looks "a bit odd". Through dialogue it is clear that Mrs Mainwaring is cold, reclusive, withholding of affection and that she is blatantly the dominant figure in the marriage . It is often implied she may be an alcoholic, as Mainwaring is repeatedly revealed to be buying bootleg whisky and gin from Walker for his wife, but insists she takes it only for "medicinal purposes". Mainwaring often uses the Platoon as a means of avoiding her and prefers not to introduce her to other people, lest she upset them . Sometimes Captain Mainwaring appears sporting minor physical injuries such as black eye in the episode "War Dance" for which he offers comically unconvincing explanations such as "walking into the linen cupboard door". It is strongly insinuated that these injuries are actually the result of incidents of domestic violence and they often seem to occur prior to a function or event where other women may be present to which Elizabeth is invited but cannot attend as it would involve going out . It is possible that she is an agoraphobic but she does venture out of the house (off - camera) in "The Godiva Affair", and is away, visiting her sister, in various episodes . We discover in "Never Too Old" that Mrs Mainwaring was the daughter of the Suffragan Bishop of Clegthorpe (a fictional see) and her parents look down on Captain Mainwaring for "marrying beneath her". In "A Soldier's Farewell" Mainwaring claims she is vegetarian . </Li> <Li> Dolly Godfrey (Amy Dalby and Joan Cooper) Private Godfrey's younger sister . Renowned for the quality of her upside - down cakes and cucumber sandwiches . Although she appears rarely, she is constantly referred to by her brother . Amy Dolby played her in one episode of series 2, "The Battle of Godfrey's Cottage", and then Joan Cooper played in one episode of series 8, "Is There Honey Still for Tea?", a Christmas special, "The Love of Three Oranges", and the final episode, "Never Too Old". Cooper (who was actually married to Arthur Lowe who played Captain Mainwaring) also appeared in No Spring for Frazer as Miss Baker, an undertaker's secretary and in Time on My Hands, as Miss Fortescue, a tea shop owner . </Li> <Li> Cissy Godfrey, (Nan Braunton and Kathleen Saintsbury) Private Godfrey's other sister, appeared in one episode of series 2 and 3 episodes of series 3 (1969), played by Nan Braunton . Braunton reprised the role in two episodes of the radio series, in which Cissy was Private Godfrey's only sister . The role of Cissy was later taken over by Kathleen Saintsbury in an episode of the eighth television series, and by Joan Cooper (who had previously played Dolly Godfrey in the television series) in an episode of the third radio series . Braunton played Cissy in one episode of series 2, "The Battle of Godfrey's Cottage" and three episodes of series 3, "The Day the Balloon Went Up", "War Dance" and "Branded". Saintsbury played Cissy in one episode of series 8, "Is There Honey Still for Tea?". </Li> <Li> Colonel Pritchard (Robert Raglan) (series 4 - 9) - The superior officer from whom Captain Mainwaring most frequently received his orders . A stern, serious man, he unexpectedly appeared to admire Mainwaring, frequently commenting on his successes and warning people not to underestimate him . Raglan also played Captain Square's sergeant in Don't Forget the Diver and Inspector Hardcastle in the feature film, Dad's Army (1971). </Li> <Li> Captain Square (Geoffrey Lumsden) (all series) - commander of the Eastgate platoon of the Home Guard and rival of Captain Mainwaring . A stereotypical military buffoon, with a handlebar moustache, in early episodes he was portrayed as a corporal in the Home Guard and was referred to as "Corporal - Colonel Square" to acknowledge his previous commissioned officer rank in the regular army . He was later promoted to captain and placed in command of the Eastgate platoon, which is first revealed in "Don't Forget the Diver". Square had a serious military record, fighting in the desert with Lawrence of Arabia and winning several medals, including the DSO . In "A Brush with the Law", it is revealed that his profession is a magistrate . Square was even more pompous than Mainwaring, and acted condescendingly towards his inexperienced rival, such as by deliberately mispronouncing Mainwaring's name phonetically . Despite his contempt of Mainwaring, Square was on excellent terms with Wilson, possibly because they had in common an upper class background . In the episode A. Wilson (Manager)?, he commissioned Wilson as the lieutenant of his Eastgate platoon . Square could be overconfident at times, and Mainwaring and the Walmington platoon did sometimes get the better of him and his platoon . </Li> <Li> Gerald (Don Estelle) - a diminutive Lancastrian ARP Warden, seen in various episodes . He usually appears as a friendly, but slightly frustrating sidekick to Hodges . He played cricket for the Wardens XI during "The Test". </Li> <Li> Reg Adamson (Stuart Sherwin) - Easygoing warden who is sometimes overpowered by Hodges' zeal and unscrupulous methods - particularly his vendetta with Mainwaring's platoon . He gave evidence against Mainwaring during "A Brush with the Law". </Li> <Li> Raymond (Dick Haydon / John Ash) - The' young lad' who helps Jones at his butcher's shop in the High Street . He is mentioned in multiple episodes, but only appears in two . Whereas most people age over time, Raymond did the opposite; he first appeared as a young man in his twenties, and later as a lad in his early teens . In "Big Guns", Jones refers to his assistant as' the boy Ronald' instead of Raymond . As well as Raymond, Jones employs an unseen woman named Miss Doris Mortimer to handle the money and ration coupons . </Li> <Li> General Kitchener (unseen and dead character) - Although long dead by the time of the Second World War General Kitchener and his military tactics are often referenced by Corporal Jones in almost any situation - the starting point for Jones's advice often being what General Kitchener would have done in a similar situation . As a result very many episodes contain an apocryphal General Kitchener anecdote to the point that he is, debatably, a character in his own right . When speaking as or quoting "General Kitchener" Corporal Jones will very often put his hand on his hip . This is unexplained until the final episode when Private Pike asks Jones why he does this and Jones seems to insinuate that it is a reference to the rumours of homosexuality that surrounded the General . In their interviews on the complete DVD box set David Croft and Jimmy Perry reveal that a specific stage direction was indeed given to Clive Dunn and that it is indeed a reference to Kitchener's rumoured homosexuality . </Li> </Ul> <Li> Mrs. Yeatman (Olive Mercer) (series 3 - 9) - Yeatman's forbidding wife . In "War Dance" Mrs Yeatman is referred to as Anthea, while in "Knights of Madness", her name is Tracy, and in "Everybody's Trucking" her name is Beryl . She appeared from time to time, mostly in situations when she was able to express impatience: for example, as a member of an over-large committee planning a social function or in a queue in the butcher's shop of Lance Corporal Jack Jones . She led the Walmington on Sea ladies netball team . It emerged, after Mrs Yeatman had caught her husband taking an afternoon's ride on a motor - cycle with the flirtatious Mrs Fox, that, somewhat improbably, she herself was involved in an extramarital relationship with the elderly Sidney Blewett (Harold Bennett) </Li>
