List of Characters

Raymond, often referred to as "the boy Raymond" by his boss Mr Jones, was a young man who worked in Walmington-on-Sea's butcher's shop. He helped Mr Jones count the coupons, and was well rewarded for his efforts, being praised by Jones and (at least once) receiving a raise (Something Nasty in the Vault, High Finance).

Behind the scenes[]

Age controversy[]

Raymond appeared in several Dad's Army episodes, but was often played by different actors of different ages. Furthermore, Raymond seemed to grow younger rather than older as the series progressed; in his first appearance (The Armoured Might of Lance Corporal Jones) he is a young man, while in later appearances he is a child of around 10-14.
