Author: Nicolas Ridley "Godfrey's Ghost" is, at its heart, the story of a father written by his son. As a young man, Arnold Ridley was chiefly known as the author of the long-running comedy thriller, "The Ghost Train" . Today he is remembered for his television performances as Private Godfrey, the oldest member of the "Dad's Army" platoon. But "Army" came towards the close of a long life, and although Arnold Ridley was Private Godfrey, Private Godfrey was not Arnold Ridley. (pb) |
