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 first ten episodes of the sixth series of 'The Navy Lark', the majority previously unreleased. The episodes are: 'Wren Chasen Returns'; 'On The Carpet'; 'The Bungalese Spies'; 'Troutbridge's Party'; 'Rescuing Admirals'; 'Demise Of The Depth Charges'; 'The Struggle For Promotion'; 'Navigation by Computer; 'Stormy Weather' and 'Chasing The Kepeac'. Also includes a 12-page booklet containing a detailed history of the programme's development, cast biographies, an episode guide and Radio Times clippings. 5 CDs. 5 hrs.
