ON DEMAND: Hi-De-Hi! (BritBox, from Thursday) By 1980, Jimmy Perry and David Croft were among Britain s top comedy writers. Dad s Army, which ended in 1977 after nine years on our screens, had made their names, while It Ain t Half Hot Mum, which ran for seven, was drawing to a close. Both series had been inspired by their own experiences, in particular those of Perry, and their next project would be too. Perry was a redcoat at Butlins after leaving the army, and channelled his memories into the show. Hugely popular throughout the 1980s, Hi-De-Hi! is now returning to our screens courtesy of BritBox. Prepare to be amused by a range of wonderful characters, including world weary comedian Ted Bovis (Paul Shane), his naive sidekick Spike (Jeffrey Holland), chief yellowcoat Gladys Pugh (Ruth Madoc) and cleaner/wannabe superstar Peggy Ollerenshaw (Su Pollard).
