1482634 2021-12-05 20:20:00 I have just finished watching "The Plank" starring Eric Sykes and Arthur Lowe. Very clever and very funny. There is no dialogue except for one woman who said "It's paint!" Highly recommended. Pommie comedy at it's best. Eric Sykes wrote it.

If you are my age (70s) you will recognise most of the faces: Lionel Blair, Harry H. Corbett, Bernard Cribbens, Diana Dors, Charlie Drake, Jimmy Edwards, Liza Goddard, Deryck Guyler, Charles Hawtrey, Frankie Howard, Joanna Lumley, Frank Windsor, Brian Murphy, Reg Varney and others.

It is available on You Tube.:D

Its not my cup of tea .
I liked Monty Python and all its sillyness (and clever bits)

Diana Dors : in her prime or not so prime in The Plank ?

"The Plank" was 1967, a bit before her popularity. She made her name in the 70s.

Spike Jones' William Tell Overture (remember the horse race with Feedlebohm and Mother In Law nagging in the rear)

I just watched 27 minutes 25 seconds of the worst "so called" comedy that I have ever seen.

Please do not post links to this sort of crap.

You are in the minority. Eric Sykes, who wrote that, was extremely successful and all of the actors I mentioned were very popular.

Obviously, all your taste is in your arse.:illogical

50 years ago, it might have been funny.

Today, like you, it is dead.
