in south east England. After leaving school, Dunn studied at the independent Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts, in London.
in the films Boys Will Be Boys (1935) and Good Morning, Boys
(1937). After a break for service in the army with the 4th Queen's Own Hussars
, during the Second World War, during the course of which he spent four years in prisoner-of-war and labour camps in Austria, he worked for many years in music halls and theatres. In 1956 and 1957, Dunn appeared in both series of The Tony Hancock Show
and the army reunion party episode of Hancock's Half Hour
in 1960. In the 1960s he made many appearances with Tony Hancock
, Michael Bentine
, Dora Bryan
and Dick Emery
, among others, before winning the role of Jones in Dad's Army in 1968.
From an early time his trademark character was that of a doddering old man. This first made an impression in the show Bootsie and Snudge
, a spinoff from The Army Game
. Dunn played the old dogsbody
at a slightly seedy gentlemen's club where the characters Pvt. "Bootsie" Bisley (Alfie Bass
) and Sgt. Claude Snudge (Bill Fraser
) found work after leaving the Army
.
In 1967 he made a guest appearance in an episode of The Avengers
, playing the proprietor of a toy shop in "Something Nasty in the Nursery". He was also one of the alien voices in the Cadbury's Smash advertisements in the 1970s, alongside Dad's Army co-star Bill Pertwee
.
Dunn was one of the younger members of the Dad's Army cast when, at 48, he took on the role of the elderly butcher
whose military service in earlier wars made him the most experienced member of the Walmington-on-Sea
Home Guard
, as well as being one of the most decrepit. Previous actors considered for the role were Jack Haig and David Jason
.
Dunn's staunch Socialist beliefs often caused him to fall out with Arthur Lowe
, who played Captain Mainwaring and who was an active Conservative
. When the series ended and Dunn finally accepted an OBE, after many offers, it was reported that Lowe would only accept a higher-rated honour from the Queen.
After Dad's Army ended, Dunn capitalised on his skill in playing elderly character roles by playing the lead in the slapstick children's TV series Grandad, from 1979 to 1984 (he played the caretaker at a village hall). He had previously had a number one hit single
with the song
"Grandad
" on his 51st birthday in January 1971, accompanied by a children's choir. The song was written by bassist Herbie Flowers
. He performed the song four times on Top of the Pops
. The B-side
of "Grandad", "I Play The Spoons", also received considerable airplay. After the cancellation of Grandad in 1984, he effectively disappeared from the screen, retiring to Portugal.
Following the success of the "Grandad" record, Dunn released several other singles
.
A 2006 article described Dunn as having eye trouble and sometimes being unable to see, but otherwise he appears to be in good health. In August 2008, he recorded a message for the programme Jonathan Ross Salutes Dad's Army, which was shown to celebrate the fortieth anniversary of Dad's Army.
He is, along with Ian Lavender
, Bill Pertwee
, Frank Williams
, and Pamela Cundell
one of the few surviving members of the Dad's Army cast.
Dunn's cousin Gretchen Franklin
was also a noted television actress, best remembered for her time as Ethel Skinner
on the BBC soap opera
EastEnders
. Dunn was amongst relatives to inherit a share in Franklin's estate following her 2005 death.
