Oh, Brother!

Oh, Brother! is a British situation comedy show on BBC television starring Derek Nimmo, which was broadcast between 1968 and 1970.

Synopsis

The series was set in a monastery, with Nimmo cast as the well-meaning but inept novice Brother Dominic. It was basically a successor to All Gas and Gaiters, where Nimmo had played a very similar role, the main difference being that Brother Dominic was working-class, whereas Nimmo's previous character, Rev. Mervyn Noote, had been upper-class.

Reception

Oh, Brother! was not quite as successful or as affectionately remembered as the earlier programme, although it did last three series containing 19 episodes, only eight of which exist in the BBC archives. The comic potential in a monastery may have been rather limited, although it did benefit from a cast which included some experienced actors, particularly Nimmo himself and Felix Aylmer as Father Prior.

    Oh! little brother
    We are in a mess
    Don't look at me that way
    Don't put me to the test
    When I first saw you
    People said:
    "He scrutinised a little monster"
    And disappeared through red door [or dawn?]
    Now everyone is disinformation
    Disinformation

    Someone in your arms
    Oh! little brother
    If only I had known
    Then I might not
