From 1957 until 2004 Bilko was shown on BBC1 & BBC2 over 1100 times making it the most repeated US comedy show in the Corporation's history! It was, and still is in a class of it's own!

During World War II, Maurice Gosfield served in the U.S. Army as a Technician fourth grade (T/4) in the 8th Armored Division. No bone spurs excuses for our Maurice! Later cast by Nat Hiken as the unforgettable Duane Doberman!
