Product Description

Four original radio episodes from the eighth series, featuring the inimitable crew of "HMS Troutbridge The Navy Lark", one of radio's longest running laughter-makers, kept the nation on the crest of a wave from 1959 to 1977. All at sea in the Senior Service were conniving Chief Petty Officer Jon Pertwee, silly-ass Sub-Lieutenant Leslie Phillips with his cry of 'Left hand down a bit!', and the constantly bemused Stephen Murray as 'Number One'.Tenniel Evans made mischief as Leading Seaman Goldstein, and Ronnie Barker played (barely) Able Seaman Fatso Johnson and Engineer Queeg, a man permanently out of his depth. Set sail with them once more in these hilarious episodes, as the crew head back to Portsmouth by train - only to find Troutbridge is elsewhere; the Admiral proposes Troutbridge for a top secret exercise to recover a space capsule; Murray's courtship of Heather is frustrated by Pertwee; and Troutbridge prepares to take two ambassadorial passengers back to Tratvia for a trade festival.

What a Scream5
Arrived promptly. Another brilliant set of episodes from a giant among comdey shows. Apart from the odd reference to shillings, it does not date. The actors are all brilliant and hilarious. We have strident forceful women (Mrs Povey) controlling their menfolk, Admirals so drunk they are positively pickled (the sad reality is today's Admirals are very intelligent and hardworking people), CPO Pertwee using the Service as his personal business and the hapless Sub Lieutenant Phillips crashing his ship into the jetty and/or any other boat. Fantastic.
