About The Army Game

The Army Game ended on June 20, 1961, after its fourth season aired on ITV Granada. The show concluded its run over five years ago, with no plans currently announced for revival or continuation.

The series was a comedy that depicted a group of National Service conscripts who tried to avoid their duties while making the best of their situation. It was set in the context of post-war Britain, beginning in 1957, and focused on their humorous attempts to escape military responsibilities and create entertainment from their circumstances.

The cast included Alfie Bass as Pte. Montague "Excused Boots" Bisley, Bill Fraser as Sgt. Maj. Claude Snudge, Ted Lune as Pte. Leonard Bone, Harry Fowler as Cpl. "Flogger" Hoskins, Frank Williams as Capt. T. R. Pocket, Geoffrey Sumner as Maj. Upshot-Bagley, William Hartnell as Sgt. Maj. Percy Bullimore, and Michael Medwin as Cpl. Springer.
