I just happened across this 1970's comedy "Get Some In" on Youtube. I was aware of the comedy, but I had never seen it. So I started watching, and who should show up but none other than Talfryn Thomas as an RAF Corporal called Chalky! The show is very good, too.

Used to watch it when it went out! Tal used to appear in every series going back then!

I saw it (Get Some In) a long time ago but at my young age then probably didn't appreciate it very much. But it is quite good. It's probably one of those 'forgotten' shows, not actually forgotten completely, but it rarely gets a mention.
It's interesting it had David Janson in it, who later played the postman in Keeping Up Appearances, or if you don't like that show, he played the kid walking along the canal with Ringo in A Hard Days Night.

I have watched all of Series One on Youtube and am now into Series Two. It's a really fun show. And the writers, Esmonde and Larbey (of The Good Life fame) have gotten the Air Force lifestyle spot on. So many things in the show I recognise from my own RNZAF service. It looks like the entire series is on Youtube for those keen to enjoy it.
In the meantime, regarding Talfyn, another series he was really great in, and the series as a whole is a must watch, is Survivors. I completely loved that show when I finally got to watch it about 2-3 years back.

Both Talfryn & John Laurie were in The Ken Dodd Radio Show in the 70's.

I just watched the first Jon Pertwee Doctor Who serial with Talfryn playing a hospital porter.
Interested to see the refs to Get Some In which I remember watching but I don't recall Talfryn appearing - I'll have to maybe watch the DVDs.
Back in the day we went to see a Get Some In stage show and I remember seeing David Janson in that and also he was directing the first panto that we took our son to see a few years ago.
