Features: The Lighthouse Lark, A Deliberate Bashing, Let Loose with a Chopper, Mr Phillips’ Promotion.
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 Dennis Price as 'Number One'. Below decks Ronnie Barker was just about working his passage as (Un)Able Seaman 'Fatso' Johnson. Get in the swim and join the merry crew as they attempt to rescue a strom-trapped lighthouse keeper, Troutbridge has an 'accidental' collision, high jinks occur at the helicopter base and Phillips goes overboard on a promotion.
