Charles Hawtrey (actor, born 1914) boost with "The Army Game", in which he played the part of Private 'Professor' Hatchett. Loosely based on the film "Private's Progress" (1956), the series followed the fortunes of a mixed bag of army National Service conscripts in residence at Hut 29 of the Surplus Ordnance Depot at Nether Hopping in remote Staffordshire. "I Only Arsked!" (1958) was a feature film spin-off. Hawtrey left the series in 1958. In "Our House" (1960–62) Hawtrey played a council official, Simon Willow. The series was created by Norman Hudis, the screenwriter for the first six "Carry On" films. Hattie Jacques and Joan Sims
