Full 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 Stephen Murray as 'Number One'. Below decks Ronnie Barker was just about working his passage as (Un)Able Seaman 'Fatso' Johnson. This collection includes the last nine episodes of Series Six of The Navy Lark, the majority previously unreleased. The episodes are: 'The Submerged Island'; 'The Sicilian Secret Agent'; 'Germany's Troutbridge'; 'Confirming Povey's Rank'; 'The Calais Dock Strike'; 'Johnson's Memoirs'; 'The Emperor of Tratvia'; 'Open Day'; 'Stuck on a Sandbank'. Also includes the bonus episode 'The Surprise Wedding', previously missing from Series 3, plus a 16-page booklet with a detailed history of the programme's development, cast biographies and episode guide. 5 CDs. 5 hrs.
