I was sure there was a thread for this show, but I cannot find it anywhere. So here's a new one to take it's place.
The show was about the war that was going on in India, the Second World War. It was England fighting to help protect India from the soldiers of Japan. A group of people were in the Royal Artillery Concert Party. It was their job to bring up the morale of the soldiers and to keep them entertained. They got into all sorts of antics by putting on ropey performances and improvising with whatever props they have on them. But one man, Sergeant Major Williams, is always trying to find ways to get them sent up the jungle. The shows starred:
Melvyn Hayes - Bombardier Beaumont
Windsor Davies - Sergeant Major Williams
George Layton - Bombardier Solomons (Series 1-2)
Donald Hewlett - Colonel Reynolds
Michael Knowles - Captain Ashwood
John Clegg - Gunner Graham
Kenneth MacDonald - Gunner Nobby
Christopher Mitchell - Gunner Parkins
Stuart McGugan - Gunner Mackintosh
Mike Kinsey - Gunner Nosher
Don Estelle - Gunner Sugden
Rangi Ram - Michael Bates
Dino Shafeek - Char-wallah
Barbar Bhatti - Punka Wallah
It first aired on TV in 1974 and finished airing in 1981. This year marks 50 years of the show, and this link talks about the show and does it deserve to be cancelled by the BBC.
