About All Gas and Gaiters

All Gas and Gaiters ended on June 17, 1971. The show concluded after its fifth season on BBC One.

It was a comedy series set in the 13th century at St. Ogg's Cathedral, focusing on the daily lives and humorous interactions of the cathedral's clergy. The series portrayed the Bishop Hubert Cleaver and his support staff, including the tipsy Archdeacon Henry, the naive chaplain Rev. Mervyn Noote, and the officious Dean Lionel Pugh Critchley. The show highlighted their often comic misadventures and the eccentricities of church life during that period.

The cast included Robertson Hare as Henry Blunt, William Mervyn as The Rt. Rev. Dr. Cuthbert Hever, Derek Nimmo as Rev. Mervyn Noote, John Barron as Lionel Pugh Critchley, Ernest Clark also as Lionel Pugh Critchley, and Joan Sanderson as Mrs. Pugh Critchley. The series was a comedy that originally premiered in 1967 and ran for five seasons, with episodes typically lasting 30 minutes. It remains a notable example of British television comedy from that era.
