Sergeant Bilko, star of the Emmy award-winning comedy series The Phil Silvers Show is back on Forces TV.

The series is on weekdays at 9am, with a repeat at 12pm and at 7pm, from Monday October 16.

Originally broadcast in 1955, the series revolves around the hilarious exploits and schemes dreamt up by workshy Sergeant Bilko (played by Phil Silvers) as he ducks and dives his way through a career in the United States Army.

Debbie Barrett, Head of Acquisitions and Planning for Forces TV said:

“It seemed appropriate that on a channel dedicated to all things military, that we should show this vintage series. Nearly 60 years after it was first broadcast it’s still hilarious!

“The well-crafted scripts and magnificent performances have definitely stood the test of time. Whether it is a trip down memory lane or the first time our audience has seen it, I hope Sergeant Bilko will find a new following on Forces TV.”

The Phil Silvers Show is distributed by CBS Studios International.

Forces TV is now available on Freeview 96, YouView 96, Sky Channel 264, Virgin 277 and Freesat 165.
