All Gas And Gaiters | BBC Clerical Comedy Around St Ogg’s Cathedral

By Heritage Radio Vault

Categories: Comedy

🎧 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.📻 The 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.🎭 What You’ll Discover- Clerical characters navigating everyday comic complications.- A radio adaptation of Devaney and Apps’s television setting.- William Mervyn, Robertson Hare and John Barron among the performers.- The chaplain role passing from Derek Nimmo to Jonathan Cecil.📻 Part of Heritage Radio Vault.🔔 Follow All Gas And Gaiters and discover more classic radio.🌐 Heritage Radio Vault
