Who remembers that BBC Radio's Sunday lunchtime prog  "The Navy Lark". Featuring HMS Troutbridge, and Captain Povey, - His wife Ramona, Able Seaman Goldstein, Petty Officer Pertwee and the Number one  Murray??. And Lieutenant Leslie Phillips. Who was the Welsh Seaman?

Sadly my memory has become clouded with age, but even the thought of it brings on the chuckles!

Comments like "Staarbord Loukout Chatting, thought youd like to know....."

Who can help remembering?

I seem to remember that Round the Horne was broadcast across lunchtime on a Friday and our 6th Form Common Room was packed out with everyone crowded around a little transistor radio.  If you hadn't listened, you were out of the jokes for the rest of the week!Laughing
