Take a tiny island in the South Atlantic with 40 volcanoes on it. Next, turn it into a ship by putting a garrison of Royal Marines on board. Make farmers of them and send for plants and trees from all over the world. Let loose rats, cats, and donkeys; organise consignments of barn owls and mynah birds. Finally, to all those and the giant green turtles and millions of sea birds already there, add a few million pounds' worth of electronic equipment. You then have one of the world's most important communications centres - Ascension.

A comedy film series re-creating the successful feature film starring two young surgeons who work in a Mobile Army Surgical Hospital and are intensely dedicated - to off-duty relaxation.

War is no laughing matter. Frank is injured in combat - sort of. A GI back from the front line is found to be only 15 years old. Hawkeye is happy though. One of his best friends, a war correspondent, makes a surprise visit to the camp and they have a great reunion. It seems a pity to break up the party...
