Talk:Sergeant Wilson

Fighting

What was the episode where he beats up a gangs of burly man (off screen) and returns without breaking a sweat? The gag is that he is brave for going to face these men, and everyone expects him to sacrifice himself and then it emerges he can totally handle himself. It's really funny and worthy of note in the artiucle, but I can't remeber the situation/episode etc.--Crestville 10:27, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

It was at the end of Absent Friends - it's the one where Hodges is getting a bit friendly with Mrs. Pike and is scared off after seeing Wilson's fighting prowess. Bob 16:24, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Military Cross

It's my recollection that when it is revealed in Never Too Old that Wilson was a Captain in the Great War, amongst his medal ribbons was that of the Military Cross, which was remarked upon. If anyone can confirm this, then he should have "MC" after his name in the intro. Nick Cooper (talk) 20:47, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

Casting of Mainwaring + Wilson ...

In The Complete A-Z of Dad's Army by Richard Webber, with Jimmy Perry and David Croft, Orion Books, 2000, Jimmy Perry writes: One [myth] that persists is that David and I changed the parts of Captain Mainwaring and Sergeant Wilson round, and that John Le Mesurier was originally going to play the officer - this is completely incorrect.

Class

Is it accurate to describe Wilson as "upper-Middle class"? If he is a close relative of a Peer (and inherits the title), wouldn't that make him Upper Class? Iapetus (talk) 14:32, 11 May 2020 (UTC)

Middle class is correct, whilst he may have a relative who has a title he is still a bank clerk in a small town bank. 90.249.136.231 (talk) 07:25, 22 December 2021 (UTC)
