08/06/2013 Directed by Cliff Owen (That Riviera Touch (1967), Steptoe and Son (1972) and Ooh... You Are Awful (1972)), this adaptation of Anthony Marriott and Alistair Foot's hit 1971 play, adapted for film by Marriott, Brian Cooke and Johnnie Mortimer. This is a very funny farce with a lot of innuendos and misunderstandings, but it has a very good cast as well. Brian Runnicles (Ronnie Corbett) works for Barclays Bank in Windsor, life is good for him. But one day, he receives a packages which he thinks is his new digital calculator, but it isn't. In fact, it's a box filled with dirty photos. But it doesn't stop there, due to a mix-up, he's receiving blue films and pornographic books. Which he has to hide from his boss Mr. Bromley (Arthur Lowe) who is a staunch anti-porn crusader. Brian, with help from bank executive David Hunter (Ian Ogilvy) and his wife Penny (Susan Penhaligon) try to dispose of the filthy evidence, but then David's mother Bertha (Beryl Reid) has just landed for a few days. This is a very funny farce, the sort you don't get these days, maybe because it would be branded as dated, But we need comedy like this again, and Corbett steals the film, (as he does with nearly everything else he does), and it has a touch of Carry On about it, with the wordplay and double entendres.
