Army game tv comedy

Was that just because there was a series of those two characters after they "left" the army? One thing I am sure of is that Alfie Bass series 1 to 4 and Bill Fraser series 2 to 4 must have done well over episodes each - not the 3 listed!

I do hope someone from Granada sets the record straight sometime soon! Apparently the surviving episodes are now available on DVD.

I wonder if the show, so much of its period, would make much sense to modern viewers. Some trivia - its theme tune, accompanied by singing from its cast, reached no5 in the UK singles chart! I'm happy to say that I well remember the Army Game, especially the later episodes. By that time, as the previous reviewer says, the show revolved largely round Bootsie and Snudge, which is not to say that there were no other very talented members of the cast.

The personnel changed a good bit over time but one noteworthy feature was the allocation of catchphrases to cast members, rather in the manner of 'Allo 'Allo more recently. Thus, a generation grew up saying 'still, ne'er mind, eh? It was a great show in its time but shunting Bootsie and Snudge into a spin-off and the approaching end of National Service ensured its cancellation.
