Oh, Mr Porter

on BBC One London

The classic British comedy starring Will Hay, Moore Marriott, Graham Moffatt.

In the remote and rather antiquated railway station of Buggleskelly in Northern Ireland, the station-master is the ironically named William Porter - a tyrant of the first order. His minions in incompetence are Jeremiah and Albert, who contribute to the chaos and near mayhem in this great classic of British comedy. For railway fans there is a chase featuring Gladstone - a steam locomotive cousin to the original Rocket.
