You
Stupid Boy!
In
the ever popular British sitcom Dad's Army Captain George Mainwaring
(pronounced 'Mannering') is the local bank manager & commander of the
Walmington-on-Sea Home Guard platoon.
A
rather pompous man who has an overdeveloped sense of his own
importance. From a working class background he is extremely class
conscious, considering himself to be upper-middle class, and tends to look
down on anyone he considers beneath him. His pompous and snobbish
attitude generally works against him.
Mainwaring is
an efficient and ruthless bank manager, but his has not transferred to his
role as Captain of the Home Guard.
His portrayal
by Arthur Lowe is considered to be one of the finest characterisations in
British sitcoms. Dad's Army ran for 80 episodes between 1968 and 1977,
a run which lasted longer than the war!
