Fun afloat! - aboard aircraft carrier HMS Indefatigable.

HMS Indefatigable, aboard which this special episode was recorded, was launched in December 1942 and joined the British Pacific Fleet in 1945, where she received superficial damage from a kamikaze hit. The vessel became a training carrier from 1950 and was broken up in 1956.

The writers, Frank Muir and Dennis Norden both served in the RAF during WW2, so their understanding of military humour stood them in good stead for this outing.
