Arthur Lowe by Graham Lord
More than twenty years after Lowe died in 1982, "Dad's Army" has become a classic comedy series, is regularly repeated all over the world, and has captured yet another generation of enchanted fans. Lowe became an actor when he was a sergeant fighting in the North African desert during WW2 after helping one of his officers build a theatre in Alexandria. On top of his long TV career, which took off when he appeared in "Coronation Street" in 1960, he also appeared as a singer and dancer in three West End musicals, on stage in numerous serious plays and in more than fifty films. For this first in-depth biography of Lowe, Graham Lord has followed in his footsteps all over Britain and interviewed both his sons and other relatives, as well as dozens of actors, friends and army comrades, including all of the surviving stars of "Dad's Army".
Graham Lord is the author of numerous bestselling and acclaimed biographies, in cluding those of Jeffrey Bernard, Dick Francis, James Herriot, David Niven, and most recently John Mortimer. He was literary editor of the Sunday Express for 23 years, and now lives in the south of France.
