All Gas And Gaiters

First broadcast from 19710105 to 19721204. (* = BBC7).

Created and written by Edwin App and Pauline Devaney, and adapted from their BBC TV series. Staring Robertson Hare, William Mervyn, and John Barron. Series one also starred Derek Nimmo in his TV break-through role of dithery curate Mervyn Noote, but in series two the part was played by Jonathan Cecil who, it must be admitted, can laugh like a drainpipe far better.

  • Only Three Can Play was included in Comedy Greats The Seventies Part 1
