The Navy Lark: Series 1 and 2: The Classic BBC Radio Sitcom

The first two series of the vintage seafaring comedy One of BBC Radio's most popular and long-running sitcoms, The Navy Lark sailed the airwaves for an impressive 13 series between 1959 and 1977. Included here are the complete Series 1 and 2, featuring the madcap escapades of the merry crew of HMS Troutbridge, a Royal Navy frigate based on an unnamed island just off Portsmouth. It's laughs ahoy as we meet conniving Chief Petty Officer Jon Pertwee, silly-ass Sub-Lieutenant Leslie Phillips, put-upon Commander 'Thunderguts' Povey (Richard Caldicot) and the constantly bemused 'Number One' (Dennis Price in Series 1 and Stephen Murray in Series 2). Below decks Ronnie Barker is just about working his passage as (Un)Able Seaman 'Fatso' Johnson, while Tenniel Evans and Michael Bates are making mischief in a variety of roles - and keeping them all on their toes is Wren Heather Chasen. Superbly remastered and restored, these 42 classic shows are as hilarious as when they were first broadcast - so jump on deck and enjoy the maritime mirth, mayhem and misadventure!
