Shows with a military theme like the Navy Lark were still topical as nearly every adult male had done military service in the war
and lots of women too, so people'd get all the jokes.

The main joke in Round The Horne was the campness at a time when homosexuality was still illegal. Hard to grasp now how naughty and subversive that was.
