Transcription

Background

Jack Hylton, who had an exclusive contract to provide Associated-Rediffusion's entertainment programmes, was keen to mirror the success of Granada's sitcom The Army Game. Tell It to the Marines was created by Ted Willis, who had created the police drama Dixon of Dock Green, and the theme music by jazz musician Chris Barber. The series was not a success.[1] Of the 30 episodes, Milo Lewis directed 29 and Tig Roe one.[1]

Cast

Plot

The series is based on the rivalry at both officer and lower ranks level between the Royal Navy and the Royal Marines when the latter are billeted with the former.[1][2]

Episodes

Tell It to the Marines aired every week from September 1959 to April 1960 on Wednesdays, mostly at 7.00pm.[1] Due to the archival policies of the time, all 30 episodes have been wiped and none are known to survive.[3]
