Oh, Brother! Oh, Brother! Oh, Brother! is a British situation comedy show on BBC television starring Derek Nimmo, which was broadcast between 1968 and 1970. The series was set in a monastery, with Nimmo cast as the well-meaning but inept novice Brother Dominic.

Mervyn Noote, had been upper-class. "Oh, Brother!" was not quite as successful or as affectionately remembered as the earlier programme, although it did last three series containing
