For a generation of fans of the hit American T.V. series M*A*S*H, Colonel Potter was the man who they longed to be their father, understanding of his un-military like surgeons and collection of off the wall but utterly loveable goof balls and with enough experience in the army and as a fellow surgeon to understand that war really is Hell.

Harry Morgan was Colonel Sherman Potter from the fourth series till the programme finally ended with the highest watched peak audience in the gripping finale Goodbye, Farewell and Amen. Along with Alan Alda, Mike Farrell and Jamie Farr, he was the embodiment of hero worship to fans of the show.
