All Gas and Gaiters, predominantly farcical in nature, was set in the close of the fictional St Ogg's Cathedral and concerned various intrigues and rivalries among the clergy. The "gaiters" in the title refers to part of the traditional dress of bishops and archdeacons. The bishop was easygoing; his friend the archdeacon was elderly, tippling, and still appreciative of attractive women; and the bishop's chaplain was naïve and accident-prone. Their wish to live a quiet bachelor life was continually threatened by the overbearing dean, who tried to bring by-the-book rule to the cathedral.Radio episodesSeries One: 1971"The Bishop Rides Again" (5 January 1971)"The Bishop Writes a Sermon" (12 January 1971)"The Bishop Meets a Bird" (19 January 1971)"The Bishop Turns to Crime" (26 January 1971)"The Bishop Sees a Ghost" (2 February 1971)"Only Three Can Play" (9 February 1971)"The Dean Goes Primitive" (16 February 1971)"The Bishop Gets a Letter" (23 February 1971)"The Bishop Gives
