Spinning off from Granada's phenomenally successful sitcom The Army Game, Bootsie and Snudge charts the Civvy Street misadventures of former National Serviceman 'Excused Boots' Bisley and his bullying sergeant, Claude Snudge, now employed within the august environs of a gentlemen's club. Alfie Bass and Bill Fraser reprise their Army Game roles, along with Clive Dunn as decrepit barman Henry Beerbohm 'Old' Johnson and Robert Dorning as the irascible Rt. Hon. Sec. Hesketh Pendleton.
