Overview

All Gas and Gaiters is a British television ecclesiastical sitcom which aired on BBC1 from 1966 to 1971. It was written by Pauline Devaney and Edwin Apps, a husband-and-wife team who used the pseudonym of "John Wraith" when writing the pilot. At St Oggs Cathedral is a carefree bishop, an old tippling archdeacon, and an accident-prone chaplain, who all wish to live a quiet bachelor life, but this is continually threatened by the dean, who tries to bring by-the-book rule to the cathedral.

Overview

When the Dean mistakenly entrusts the Bishop to look after his man-eating plant, he little realises the chaos that it causes. If the Bishop had not arranged for a removal of junk from his home, then the key to the Deanery wouldn't be lost and the Archdeacon wouldn't have had to enlist a reformed burglar in order to retrieve it!
