I caught William Hartnell in some episodes of this old b/w sitcom today

Two other members of the regular cast were Bernard Bresslaw (Varga in The Ice Warriors) and Bill Fraser (General Grugger in Meglos and Commander Pollock in K9 and Company)

I vaguely remember this on TV but have a clearer recollection of 'Bootsie and Snudge' which was a spin off featuring the characters of Alfie Bass and Bill Fraser

The only time I've seen that is when Channel 4 broadcast one episode during one of their nostalgia nights when they devoted a whole evenings viewing to programmes from one year

For some reason they keep showing the same three episodes.

It can't be a question of availability as all 50 (or thereabouts) remaining episodes (out of an original 154) are out on DVD

Forces TV is really interesting! They're showing some quite unusual stuff, and I had missed that The Army Game is getting an airing.

Also worth watching out for: Get Some In (Tony Selby) and the outstanding drama Danger UXB (featuring Debbie Watling and Iain Cuthbertson in major roles).

It's a bit weird that they are also showing Nicholas Lyndhurst's sitcoms Goodnight Sweetheart and The Piglet Files. I suppose there's a borderline case to be made for GS as it's set during WWII but TPF is about spies
