A profile of Lowe begins an evening dedicated to the actor who found enduring fame as the pompous Captain Mainwaring in Dad's Army. However, Lowe's most famous role did not bring lasting success.

Bad health, including narcolepsy contributed to his decline - and some also blame the intensity of his marriage to the actress Joan Cooper.
