Two personalities from the television programme 'Dad's Army', who are always getting into hot water in the famous B.B.C. serial, sailed into cold water at the Little Venice Boat Afloat Show on 24th May-3rd June on behalf of the R.N.L.I. They were Arthur Lowe (Captain Manwaring) and Clive Dunn (L/Cpl. Jones).

Between them, but under the command of Mr. J. R. Necdham, organiser for the Upper Thames Branch of the Y.L.A., who was helmsman of the ILB used for the show, they not only rescued from the river a willing girl but three boys from a capsized sailing dinghy.

Mr. Lowe is a vice president of the Upper Thames branch..
