Ian Carmichael made a career of playing bumbling, upper-class innocents adrift in a corrupt or chaotic world and became a defining face of British satirical comedy. I’m All Right Jack makes a factory trainee a pawn in a labour dispute, School for Scoundrels teaches a loser to get the upper hand, Heavens Above! throws a parish into chaos with a charitable vicar, and The Amorous Prawn runs an illegal safari business from a general’s residence. Lucky Jim and Private’s Progress round out the list.
