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 Able Seaman 'Fatso' Johnson.Jump on deck and join them once more, with special guest June Whitfield, in these classic capers in which Captain Povey meets old wartime flame 'Cheeky Bottomley', Phillips and Pertwee try to track down the Loch Ness monster, Troutbridge is transformed into a German warship and Phillips has an affair with a computer.
