Ship Ahoy

Troutbridge TV films a minesweeper sailing to the breakers' yard. Navy Lark spin-off stars Jon Pertwee. From March 1963.

Troutbridge TV's new naval show is set to film a mine sweeper sailing to the breakers' yard.

After four series of 'The Navy Lark', the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ decided the comedy crew needed a new setting, so where better than brand new independent station, Troutbridge TV?

However, after just ten episodes, this proved to be only a temporary change of course for the crew of HMS Troutbridge - as the crew were soon back aboard 'The Navy Lark'.
