Between 1966 and 1971 the ecclesiastical rivalries at St Oggs Cathedral enchanted a generation of viewers. Now for the first time all eleven surviving episodes of this classic comedy series are available in this special DVD collection...
The series starred the sherry-tippling Archdeacon - Henry (Robertson Hare), the bombastic Bishop wedded to his comforts (William Mervyn), the Bishop's twittish Chaplain - Noote (Derek Nimmo), and the rule-bound Dean (John Barron).
The acting surrounds the Bishop's attempts to lead an easy life, and idea which is alien to the reforming Dean. Involving the Archdeacon and his Chaplain in his schemes, the Bishop always opposes the Dean and frequently attempts to undermine or avoid him. Running to five series in total, All Gas and Gaiters was a monster hit for the BBC. It was regularly watched by over ten million viewers every week and often featured in the top ten TV Programmes listings.
This digitally remastered DVD release includes all eleven surviving episodes of the thirty-three episodes made. 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 booklet is illustrated throughout with stills from the series and recollections from the husband-and-wife writing team behind the show.
