The Prestige Show

Troutbridge TV stages a gala programme to boost its viewership. Navy Lark spin-off stars Leslie Phillips. From February 1963.

With only one commercial to play, struggling new channel Troutbridge TV stages a flagship show to boost its viewing figures.

After four series of 'The Navy Lark', the 麻豆社 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'.
