The latest in the season of Pilot Paradise programmes which became classic comedy series. Oh Brother!, written by David Climie and Austin Steele, was first shown in September 1968, and was set in the tranquil atmosphere of Mountacres Priory.
The arrival of a noisy, accident-prone novice monk soon shatters the peace at the priory, and with an important visitor due to arrive from the Vatican, even the saintly patience of the Prior, Father Anselm, is tested beyond endurance.
