RAF efficiency inspector Flight Lieutenant Simon Harrison (Christopher Lang) is sent to conduct a review of RAF Auchnacluchnie, perched high on the cliffs above a small Scottish fishing village of the same name. Our Review: This sitcom showed promise, but the premise's potential was never fully realised, and due to its ill-publicised, obscurely timed broadcasts (various times on Sunday afternoons/evenings) it never picked up. We can't help but feel that this was a great shame, as the writing and cast deserved far better recognition. |
