Don Estelle | Obituaries | Guardian Unlimited |
 | | The diminutive actor Don Estelle, who has died aged 70, is likely to be best remembered for playing one of the camp military entertainers of British soldiers in the 1970s BBC television series set in India, It Ain't Half Hot Mum. |
 | | Estelle went back to Dad's Army to be among the actors playing walk-on characters to compensate for the fact that no new major character was introduced. |
 | | Estelle and Windsor went on to make the album Sing Lofty, which reached the top 10 and sold 80,000 copies, before being re-released to sell another 250,000 copies, making it one of EMI's top 20 bestselling albums. |
