Sergeant Bilko Returns To Forces TV

Sergeant Bilko, star of the Emmy award-winning comedy series The Phil Silvers Show, is back on Forces TV. Episodes of this classic black and white sitcom run daily at 12.20pm and 4.55pm. 
 
Originally broadcast in 1955, the series revolves around the hilarious exploits and schemes dreamt up by work-shy 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.
