TV.com summary |
Hallelujah! was a British sitcom which ran from 1981-1984.
The series was set in a Salvation Army citadel in the fictional Yorkshire town of Brigthorpe. Captain Emily Ridley (Thora Hird) has been posted there having been an active member of the Salvation Army for 42 years. Despite the town and residents being seemingly pleasant, Emily is determined to flush out sin from behind the net curtains. Assisting Emily is her niece Alice Meredith (Patsy Rowlands) and Brig Langton (Michael Aldridge) which has only made plenty of cameos through out the shows run.
The programme was a repeat collaboration between Hird and the creator Dick Sharples, having worked together on the comedy series In Loving Memory.
