Please Sir a LWT produced Sitcom between 1968-72 on at prime time & networked.
4 series(55 episodes)featuring John Alderton, Joan Sanderson & Deryck Guyler,Glynn Edwards,Richard Davis..Sanderson & Davis memorably played characters in Fawlty Towers. Sanderson as Mrs Richards in “Communication Problems” Davis as Mr White the Welshman in “The Kipper & The Corpse”
The most amusing character was Frankie Abbott(David Barry) the self styled ‘hard nut’ As ‘hard as a marshmallow’ His mum played by Barbara Mitchell who’s line to Frankie was .”Mummy’s little soldier” 😁
I rather liked Derek Guyler as the Old Desert Rat school caretaker, and Richard Davies as the cynical science teacher.

The teacher Smithy, How old was he? Joan Sanderson was wonderful as usual, The "Kids" mind were in their 20's or older when doing this show.

I was reminded of him when I started work, one of the older fellas looked a bit like him & was also a former Desert Rat.

Cheers Olds, Seems a lot of characters have passed away and not just the older ones like Sanderson.
