Editing Arthur Lowe (section)

==Recognition==
[[Tom Cole]] wrote in the ''[[Radio Times]]'': "There are few actors who charmed viewers both young and old with such ease, and fewer still who could be trusted with the task of bringing classic literary characters like [[Charles Pooter]] and A.J. Wentworth to life." [[Graham Lord]] wrote, in his 2002 biography, that "almost every actor who worked with Arthur considered him to be outstanding".{{sfnp|Lord|2002|p=292}} He gave as an exception Martin Benson, who said Lowe did not have a lot of vocal skill in his rep days, "and I don't think he had afterwards either...A lot of his success came from this oddball personality that he had and the fact that later in his career he had some very good writers."{{sfnp|Lord|2002|p=71}}

In 2002, [[Paul Scofield]] described Lowe as a rare talent and "seriously brilliant actor", and said it was his timing that set him apart.{{sfnp|Lord|2002|p=102}} [[Jimmy Perry]] agreed about his timing: "It was faultless. He could get huge laughs with such simple lines as 'Just a moment,' 'how dare you,' and 'you stupid boy'" – all catchphrases from ''Dad's Army''. Perry also described Lowe as a kind man who went out of his way to help actors less fortunate than himself.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/theguardian/2013/apr/16/dads-army-arthur-lowe-jimmy-perry| title=From the archive, 16 April 1982: Arthur Lowe, captain of comedy|access-date=1 September 2021 | work=The Guardian| first=Jimmy| last=Perry| date=16 April 2013}}</ref>
