Product Description

The Navy Lark, one of radio's longest running laughter-makers, kept the nation on the crest of a comic wave from 1959 to 1977. All at sea in the Senior Service were conniving Petty Officer Jon Pertwee, silly-ass Sub-Lieutenant Leslie Phillips and the constantly bemused Dennis Price as 'Number One'. Below decks Ronnie Barker was just about working his passage as (Un)Able Seaman 'Fatso' Johnson. This handsome Collector's CD Edition is the second in a series which we hope will eventually cover every existing episode of The Navy Lark, restored and remastered. Series 2, Volume 1 contains 11 of the first 14 episodes from the second series. The box also contains an illustrated booklet with detailed programme notes, cast biographies and details of the missing episodes, and each CD is presented in its own wallet.

Customer Reviews

Wow, brings back memories! However...
1) The two discs do not contain all the episodes from series 2...some are missing.

2) Some episodes are of such poor quality that I find myself unable to listen to them. The box does say that audio quality may vary, Amazon's listing does not.

3) Very, very expensive for what it is. I bought series three at the same time and returned it. I'd buy the whole lot if I felt them good value for money.

So, only 3/5 as I cannot see myself buying any more...and I'd like to.

Poor Quality
Two of the discs have such poor quality they are hardly worth listening to
and definitely no use in the car. A great shame in this age of re-mastering especially considering the price.
Content however is just as hoped for to bring review up to 3 stars.
