All at sea in the Senior Service were conniving Petty Officer Jon Pertwee, silly-ass Sub-Lieutenant Leslie Phillips and the constantly bemused Stephen Murray as 'Number One'. Below decks Ronnie Barker was just about working his passage as (Un)Able Seaman 'Fatso' Johnson.The Navy Lark, one of radio's longest running laughter-makers, kept the nation of 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 Stephen Murray as 'Number One'.
So climb aboard and join the merry crew as they try not to exert themselves too much in a high level NATO exercise, a promotion commotion, a spot of naval nepotism and Hunt Ball complications.
