The Navy Lark - Series Four Volume 2
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 eleven episodes from the fourth series, the majority previously unreleased. The episodes are: Captain Povey's Shop, Leading Seaman Goldstein's Party, The Invitation, A Strange Hobby, Mr. Philips Gets Engaged, The Sinking Of The Bubble Car, Long John Pertwee, The Admiral's Accident Report, Over The Sea To Rosyth, The Return Of Sir Fredrick Flatley and The Ship's Concert.
The box set also contains Calling The Antarctic - an Overseas Service broadcast from December 1962 - plus an illustrated booklet with detailed programme notes, cast biographies and details of the missing episodes.
