Growing Pains of PC Penrose

1970s British tv sitcom

PC Penrose joins the local police force in small town and gets under wings of Sergeant Flagg, who shows him the ropes. Soon young and naive Penrose learns that his job is more complicated than he thought.

One fo the first Roy Clarke’s attempt to make comedy series (later he created f.e. Keeping Up Appearances). The idea had some potential, but the result was rather incoherent and diluted plot. It’s warm and delicate show that can’t be compared to later Clarke’s works.
