GSMC Classics: The Navy Lark

GSMC Comedy & Family Network 126 - GSMC Classics: The Navy Lark Episode 125: Getting Rid Of Pertwee

The Navy Lark is a radio sitcom about life aboard a British Royal Navy frigate named HMS Troutbridge (a pun on HMS Troubridge, a Royal Navy destroyer) based in HMNB Portsmouth. In series 1 and 2, the ship and crew were stationed offshore at an unnamed location known simply as "The Island". In series 2 this island was revealed to be owned by Lt. Cdr. Stanton. It was produced by Alastair Scott Johnston. Jon Pertwee is frequently quoted as having suggested the idea of a forces comedy based on the Royal Navy, but Alastair Scott Johnston and writer Laurie Wyman both contemplated an Air Force and an Army themed sitcom before going to the BBC with The Navy Lark. Wyman included ideas based on excuses for late return from leave and other misdemeanours from HMS Troubridge bulletins.
