 BBC - Comedy Guide - Bootsie And Snudge
So while the parent show continued, the pair were 'demobbed' and given a series of their own, Bootsie And Snudge.
Snudge assumed a position of superiority over Johnson too, but Bootsie recognised a kindred spirit in the old man and proved to be a sympathetic ally.
Ahead of its time in some ways - Steptoe And Son and Porridge would later pick up the two-men-trapped-together mantle - the dialogue between the pair was tetchy at best, although both had defeat etched into their voices no matter what position they were assuming in the verbal battle.

 BOOTSIE AND SNUDGE | A TELEVISION HEAVEN REVIEW
The characters stayed true to their original Army Game personalities with the eternal dreamer ‘Bootsie’ (here being employed -appropriately- as the ‘boot boy’) and Snudge as the stuttering apoplectic, (employed as the Major Domo) who tries to keep Bisley on the straight and narrow path.
In 1964 Bootsie and Snudge were briefly moved into the diplomatic service for a series called Foreign Affairs although that only lasted for 8 weeks.
Then in 1974 the two stars were reunited for 6 more episodes of Bootsie and Snudge where, in a reversal of fortunes, Bootsie wins a million pounds and 27 pence on the football pools and Snudge, as his financial advisor becomes the subservient partner.

 Clive Dunn - Biography - AOL Music
Co-written with Herbie Flowers, best known for creating the bass line of Lou Reed's "Walk on the Wild Side", the tune remained on the charts for 27 weeks and became the crowning jewel in a lifetime spent in British entertainment.

He continued his run of success with a similar role in the enormously popular, Dad's Army, appearing in all 80 episodes, from 1968 until 1977, and in the 1971 film, whose soundtrack he co-wrote songs for and produced with Ray Cameron.

 One of BBC's most inspired lunatics - smh.com.au
His partnership with Feldman was to provide the most fruitful period of his career.
It began with commissions from Granada for episodes of their popular series The Army Game and continued when two of the characters appeared in a new series created by Took and Feldman, Bootsie and Snudge.
They had clocked up more than 100 episodes when Feldman pulled out, an event which was to become a recurrent feature of the relationship.

Steptoe and Son gets laughs of the very lowest and easiest kind, and this is what puts it in the same class as Bootsie and Snudge.
The reaction to both is 'Thank god I'm not as grossly illiterate as Snudge,' and 'Thank god I'm not as filthy and uncouth as Albert Steptoe': and the laughter of the audience stems from relief, from the conferring of superiority on it.
He uses no catchphrases (unless you call the deliberate mispronunciation of the last syllable of Nicholas Parson' first name a catch-phrase, and even this is used sparingly) and realism is aided by retaining use of the cast's own names in the sketches.

 THE ARMY GAME | A TELEVISION HEAVEN REVIEW
The first to leave were Hawtrey, Bresslaw and Hartnell (although he returned for the final series).
Hartnell's place was taken by Bill Fraser as Sgt Claude Snudge, a character that proved popular enough for a spin-off series Bootsie and Snudge in 1960.
The series is notable for launching the career of many British actor/comedians including Harry Fowler and Dick Emery (who appeared as 'Chubby' Catchpole), and amongst its writers boasted the likes of Barry Took, John Antrobus, Talbot Rothwell and Marty Feldman.

 The Avengers Forever: Clive Dunn   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Dunn was then in the largely unsuccessful ITV series The Tony Hancock Show (1956), later turning up in the much better (and better-remembered) Hancock's Half Hour, "The Reunion Party" (1959).
He was a regular as "Old Johnson" in Bootsie and Snudge (1960-63), co-written by Marty Feldman, before taking on the similar role of Lance Corporal Jones, a peppery survivor of the Great War, in every episode of Dad's Army and a film version in 1971.
To be honest, some of his physical clowning in the series was a bit out of place with the restrained character comedy of the rest of the cast; you always knew that he was playing an old man, whereas they were the genuine article.

His discovery of a shared sense of humour with another performer and scriptwriter, Marty Feldman, led them into Educating Archie, and then into one of the most popular TV shows of the 1950s and 1960s, The Army Game, with its appeal to ex-wartime soldiers and peacetime con scripts.
