Pauline Devaney and Edwin Apps were the husband-and-wife team responsible for creating the popular BBC sitcom All Gas and Gaiters. Originally actors, the couple turned to writing when they were between jobs, and wrote a pilot episode under the pseudonym 'John Wraith'. The show was a huge success, and ran for five series on BBC1 between 1966 and 1971. Two series followed on BBC Radio 4 in 1971 and 1972.
