The Navy Lark!

And also "Round the Horne" which appealed to my sense of humour as a teenager.  BBC and the PC Brigade wouldn't allow that any more!!

Those programmes are still available on the web.  They are good entertainment and remarkably funny considering how proper everything was at the time they were recorded.

Seem to remember lieutenant Leslie Philips trying to guide the ship in to port,"  come on come on, left hand down a bit "..classic.

Just listened to an episode of Round the Horne . Brilliant comedy full of innuendo and double meanings. Skillful dialogue, something in short supply nowadays.

Might not suit the avid PC brigade of whom there are a few on here, so I wont post a link.

Our friend Mr Google can show the way.

Oneput, Thanks, and wasn't Leslie Phillips referred to as the Navigating Officer?  Ronnie Barker was classic as AB fatso Johnson, long before he became famous as part of the two Ronnies.  At one stage my family nickname was "Povey" probably because of my habit of referreing to the DCOS as Ramona.

As has already been said The Navy Lark and Round the Horne were classics in their day, and for me epitomised the sorely missed BBC Radio's  "Light Programme".

Round the Horne, brilliant, 15 million listeners couldn't be wrong

Aye Aye Captain, those were the days, they don't make them like that anymore
