This short-lived BBC comedy series began as a single episode of Comedy Playhouseon 14 June 1966.
It was the tale of a roguish group of maintenance men who had organised themselves very comfortably within the offices of Titan Products Ltd – a huge manufacturing business.
Comfortable, that is, until a new Internal Security Officer joined the firm on the lookout for petty pilfering – the maintenance men’s principal occupation.
Kenneth Connor starred as the Bilko-esque ringleader, Gus Fogg, while Deryk Guyler gave a nice dreamy rendering of Mr Powell, the excessively optimistic Director of Internal Personnel.
Guests included Richard O’Sullivan, Henry McGee, Eric Dodson and Patrick Newell.
Not to be confused with the unrelated 1986 comedy series of the same name from Yorkshire Television starring James Bolam and Keith Barron.
