🎧 The Bishop Is HospitableHear “The Bishop Is Hospitable” from All Gas And Gaiters, a collection of British radio comedy presented by Heritage Radio Vault.All Gas And Gaiters finds that ecclesiastical dignity is no protection against a comic predicament. Around St Ogg’s Cathedral, competing personalities and well-meant plans give the clergy as much difficulty as their official responsibilities.📻 About the programmeThe BBC Radio 4 adaptation ran in 1971-72, following the television comedy created by Pauline Devaney and Edwin Apps. William Mervyn, Robertson Hare and John Barron were among the familiar performers. Derek Nimmo played the chaplain in the first radio series, with Jonathan Cecil taking over in the second. The radio version used new performances, allowing the characters’ timing, verbal exchanges and conflicting temperaments to carry the comedy without its original pictures.📚 Recording notesCatalogue broadcast date: 16 October 1972.Presented as a surviving historical recording.
