big business lark episode 1: leading you through 06 07 1969 - part 1 of 3 the big business lark was a radio comedy sitcom of partly satirical form broadcast in 1969. it starred jimmy edwards and frank thornton and was written by laurie wyman as a spin-off from the navy lark, although no characters cross over between the two shows. in a sense, the spin-off element was in the the foo lark name format. the show was set in the boardroom of fictional company allied british plastics and was concerned with the business machinations of the chairman edwards and his son and deputy chairman thornton. plots included landing an order to provide the red army with plastic tents, a trip to america to make a good deal from another board member's mistake and an attempt to find a plastic novelty made by the firm for breakfast cereal boxes. the comedy was more broad farce than subtle satire with edwards playing a bluff, hard-drinking, chauvinist old rogue character and thornton his more proper sidekick, annaogous to the same role he played against derek francis in the other navy lark spin-off, the emby lark. thirteen episodes were made 1969-07-06 1 leading you through 1969-07-13 2 cruising on the river 1969-07-20 3 taking you through 1969-07-27 4 disposing of a relative 1969-08-03 5 playing ducks 1969-08-10 6 taking orders 1969-08-17 7 strike breaking 1969-08-24 8 dining out 1969-08-31 9 initiating you through 1969-09-07 10 searching for liberty 1969-09-14 11 contracting out 1969-09 ltbgt...lt bgt
