Our Man at St. Mark's

Our Man at St. Mark's is a British comedy television series which originally aired on ITV between 1963 and 1966.

The series was originally intended to be called There Was a Young Vicar, but it was decided this sounded too much like the beginning of a limerick and a more respectful title was chosen.

The show proved to be a ratings hit, although only six complete episodes are known to have survived.

[2] Comparisons are often made with another clerical comedy All Gas and Gaiters which aired shortly afterwards on the BBC and was focused on a fictional cathedral rather than workings of an ordinary parish.

[3] Other actors who appeared in episodes of the show included Fay Compton, Francesca Annis, James Beck, Terence Alexander, Joyce Carey, Julian Holloway, Trevor Bannister, Victor Maddern, Annette Andre, Pauline Yates, Derek Francis, David Hemmings, Warren Mitchell, Freddie Jones, David Langton, Peter Vaughan, Michael Gwynn, Patrick Barr, Erik Chitty, Ronald Leigh-Hunt, George A. Cooper, Campbell Singer, Carole Mowlam, Linda Marlowe, Godfrey Quigley, Ann Bell and David Lodge.
