33 episodes from Series 8-10 of the much-loved civil service sitcom, plus the 1971 special.
For fifteen years between 1962 and 1977, The Men From The Ministry kept audiences laughing over the course of 13 series, plus a fourteenth series recorded for overseas in 1980.
This third volume features the complete Series 8 and 9, eleven episodes from Series 10 and the 1971 special Gone To Pot. We pay another visit to the General Assistance Department, where eager executives Deryck Lennox-Brown and Richard Lamb ('Number One' and 'Number Two') are flummoxed once more by the challenges that come their way. From getting embroiled in dodgy doings in the West Country to botching a trade agreement with the Italians, battling unwelcome furry visitors and causing confusion in a moral crusade, the disorganised duo can't help but throw a spanner in the works of Government...
Deryck Guyler and Richard Murdoch star as Lennox-Brown and Lamb, with Norma Ronald as Mildred Murfin, Ronald Baddiley as Sir Gregory Pitkin, and guest stars including Garard Green, Joan Sanderson, Clive Dunn, Patricia Hayes and Dilys Laye.
