Get Some In: The Complete Series (5 Discs)
Get Some In is set in 1955 when national service was compulsory. The series revolves around four men from contrasting backgrounds each of whom had received his call-up papers - Jakey Smith (Robert Lindsay) who was a reformed teddy boy; Bruce Leckie a Scot without much brain power; Ken Richardson a former grammar school pupil; and Matthew Lilley the son of a vicar and so in military mindset appropriately something of a lily-livered character. Posted to 'C' Flight at RAF Skelton but swiftly nicknamed the 'erks' the four swiftly come face to face with their permanent adversary drill instructor Corporal Marsh a nasty mean petty-minded and very vocal piece of work who loathes and despises the 'erks'.
This Thames sitcom from the creators of The Good Life and Ever Decreasing Circles chronicles the adventures of a widower who runs a riverside boatyard with his two grown-up sons - and the ructions that ensue when he decides to remarry. Running for two series Don't Rock the Boat stars Nigel Davenport as handsome young-at-heart Jack Hoxton and Sheila White as Dixie - the glamorous girl who puts the zing back into his life! Until the marriage of Jack and Dixie Jack and his sons Les and Billy had run a perfectly well-ordered resoundingly all-male establishment. But the arrival of Dixie a former conjurer's assistant and chorus girl has changed all that. And that fact that the boys now have a stepmother who's barely older than they are can only further complicate the situation...
The 'erks' of 'C' Flight are back and nearing the end of their gruelling basic training at RAF Skelton. The time has come for trade-training selection and life seems to be looking a little less grim for Ken Jakey Bruce and Matthew. But they still have the Inter-Fight Competition to get through - with a little gentle encouragement from Corporal Marsh - followed by nursing-attendant training under Squadron Leader Bush... Created by the winning team of John Esmonde and Bob Larbey (The Good Life Please Sir!) Get Some In! stars Tony Selby as DI Marsh Robert Lindsay as Jakey Brian Pettifer as Leckie and guest starring Paul Eddington as Squadron Leader Bush. Setting the rigours of 1950s National Service against a nostalgic backdrop of coffee bars and rock and roll its humour made the show an instant success running for five series between 1975 and 1978. Presented here is the complete third series of Get Some In! originally screened in 1977.
