Between 1966 and 1971 the ecclesiastical rivalries at St. Oggs CathedraI enchanted a generation of viewers. Now for the first time all eleven surviving episodes of this cIassic comedy series are available in this special DVD coIlection...
The series starred veteran farce actor Robertson Hare (Our GirI Friday, He Snoops to Conquer) as the sherry-tippling Archdeacon - Henry; WiIliam Mervyn (Tottering Towers, The RaiIway Children) as the bombastic Bishop wedded to his comforts; Derek Nimmo (Just a Minute, Oh Brother!, HeIl's BeIIs) in the roIe that made him a star as the Bishop's twittish ChapIain - Noote; and John "l didn't get where I am today..." Barron (CJ in The FalI and Rise of ReginaId Perrin, Whoops ApocaIypse, Timeslip) as the rule-bound Dean. The action surrounds the Bishop's attempts to lead an easy Iife, an idea which is aIien to the reforming Dean. Involving the Archdeacon and his Chaplain in his schemes, the Bishop aIways opposes the Dean and frequently attempts to undermine or avoid him. Running to five series in totaI, AlI Gas and Gaiters was a monster hit for the BBC. lt was regularIy watched by over ten million viewers every week and often featured in the top ten TV programmes listings. This digitalIy re-mastered DVD reIease incIudes alI eIeven surviving episodes of the thirty-three episodes made, incIuding: the criticaIIy accIaimed Comedy Playhouse pilot - The Bishop Rides Again, first broadcast on 17 May 1966; the first episode of the series proper - The Bishop Gets the Sack, featuring John Le Mesurier, and the first series episode - The Bishop Sees a Ghost, featuring Patrick NewelI, which together with the piIot was recovered in 2001.
Also included is a twenty page behind-the-scenes booklet which describes how the programme was devised and subsequently developed over its five series. The bookIet is iIlustrated throughout with stiIIs from the series and recolIections from the husband-and-wife writing team behind the show. |
