Four early episodes, including the first-ever broadcast, of hilarious antics aboard HMS Troutbridge. The Navy Lark, one of radio's longest running laughter-makers, kept the nation 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 Dennis Price as 'Number One'. Below decks Ronnie Barker was just about working his passage as (Un)Able Seaman 'Fatso' Johnson. So climb aboard and join the merry crew in these four classic capers, in which the crew discover a Naval detachment that apparently exists to satisfy the various business activities of a certain CPO Pertwee! Follow Pertwee's attempts to maximise his earning potential. Sympathise as his latest financial venture, a touring fairground, suffers when HMS Troutbridge goes to sea for the first time. And discover how truly hopeless Phillips' navigational skills are as he attempts to find the Whittlesea Bay Regatta and ends up at a different location altogether.
