- Synopsis:
Spinning off from Granada's phenomenally successful sitcom 'The Army Game', 'Bootsie' and 'Snudge' charts the Civvy Street misadventures of former National Serviceman 'Excused Boots' Bisley and his bullying sergeant, Claude Snudge, now employed within the august environs of a gentlemen's club. Alfie Bass and Bill Fraser reprise their 'Army Game' roles, along with Clive Dunn as decrepit barman Henry Beerbohm 'Old' Johnson and Robert Dorning as the irascible Rt. Hon. Sec. Hesketh Pendleton. This much-loved series, penned by the 'Round the Horne' team of Barry Took and Marty Feldman, was originally screened between 1960 and 1963, and this release contains all 39 episodes of the first series. 'Bootsie' Bisley and his former tormentor Claude Snudge are now working together - not exactly by choice - at the Imperial Club, a gentlemen's establishment in London. While boot boy Bootsie continues to play dogsbody to Snudge, now the club's major-domo, Old Johnson bumbles along in his own determined fashion, dodging retirement and attempting to help his disaster-prone colleagues deal with the inevitable consequences of their actions... - Actors:
