It's strange how some old show dialogues can bring a rush of memories.

A mate of mine was telling his wife about Dad’s Army the other day and casually dropped the line, “Don’t tell him, Pike!” I swear, it was like someone hit a memory button in my brain. Suddenly I was right back in the living room as a kid, laughing at Captain Mainwaring losing his mind while Pike just stood there looking guilty.

Me and my friend couldn’t stop quoting it for the next ten minutes, just cracking up at how perfect that moment still is, decades later. It’s crazy how one line can bring all those memories rushing back.
