Hello and welcome to goon pod 

13
00:01:33,300 --> 00:01:35,200
this week. 
I am joined once again by 

14
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:38,700
returning. 
Guest Scott Phillips, Scott is a

15
00:01:38,700 --> 00:01:43,900
podcaster par Excellence. 
He is co-host of podcasts. 

16
00:01:43,900 --> 00:01:48,900
Such as real Britannia, the 
stinking paws podcast, and the 

17
00:01:48,900 --> 00:01:51,500
official talking pictures TV 
podcast. 

18
00:01:52,100 --> 00:01:55,700
So bound up, is Scott in his 
podcasting activities that if 

19
00:01:55,700 --> 00:01:58,800
his family want to communicate 
with them, they have to dress up

20
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:02,500
and reenact scenes from Crooks 
and Oysters to engage his 

21
00:02:02,500 --> 00:02:06,000
attention. 
So this week Scott and I are 

22
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:10,500
talking about a what I would 
class as an undervalued and 

23
00:02:10,500 --> 00:02:14,800
underappreciated kind of 
Forgotten sellers film Peter 

24
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:20,000
Sellers film from the 1950s. 
But before we got talking about 

25
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:24,800
that, I asked Scott why he'd 
been under the weather The 

26
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,100
dreaded covid motor. 
And yeah, I mean it's getting to

27
00:02:28,100 --> 00:02:31,100
the point where I think 
everybody is going to be struck 

28
00:02:31,100 --> 00:02:33,200
down or affected by in some 
point. 

29
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,400
And unfortunately, he made the 
17th of December. 

30
00:02:36,500 --> 00:02:40,300
Ouch, ouch. 
So the 10-day isolation period 

31
00:02:40,300 --> 00:02:43,500
covered all of Christmas. 
It was horrible dear. 

32
00:02:43,500 --> 00:02:47,300
Well yeah, I mean you're not 
alone. 

33
00:02:47,300 --> 00:02:51,200
I mean I somehow we somehow 
managed to avoid it, although I 

34
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:55,400
don't know if I mean, I'm not 
quite My speech anyway. 

35
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,700
But i'm particularly so today 
because I'm a, I've got a bad 

36
00:02:58,700 --> 00:03:00,400
head cold. 
I don't think it is covid. 

37
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,300
I had a few couple of done a 
couple of tests. 

38
00:03:02,300 --> 00:03:07,200
But yeah, but but you know, as I
say doctor greasepaint up to 

39
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,000
theater. 
Show must go on. 

40
00:03:09,100 --> 00:03:11,500
We must go on. 
But if I'm coughing and 

41
00:03:11,500 --> 00:03:14,500
spluttering and dribbling into 
the microphone, I do apologize. 

42
00:03:14,500 --> 00:03:16,400
Ladies and a lady in 
gentlemen's. 

43
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:23,000
So today, today, you've come to 
talk about a film which has a 

44
00:03:23,008 --> 00:03:26,000
goon connection of Course, it's 
always a wouldn't be on this 

45
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,600
podcast for this and it kind of 
gets overlooked. 

46
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:35,300
I feel, but I would say it's to 
me the second best Peter Sellers

47
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:40,700
black and white British film. 
Yeah, there's a few, there's a 

48
00:03:40,700 --> 00:03:43,200
fuming. 
It's the one that's overlooked. 

49
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:48,000
I think which is surprising. 
Considering the cast roots in it

50
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:52,800
and the pedigree that's there. 
I think if you were to put that 

51
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:54,200
out to people, what's your 
favorite? 

52
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,500
You know, black and white Peter 
Sellers movie many would say. 

53
00:03:57,500 --> 00:04:00,200
I'm all right, jack? 
Or even two-way stretch. 

54
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:04,800
I think the be up there but this
one as I say because of who's in

55
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:06,200
it? 
It's surprising. 

56
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:09,300
Is it shown on TV, fairly 
regular thing talking pictures 

57
00:04:09,300 --> 00:04:13,700
TV mayor of the riots for the 
moment but not to the extent. 

58
00:04:13,700 --> 00:04:16,200
It would have been, you know, 
20, 30 years ago when it would 

59
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:19,899
have been a staple of the Sunday
afternoon, BBC, Two schedules or

60
00:04:19,899 --> 00:04:21,399
ever. 
It's right. 

61
00:04:21,399 --> 00:04:22,700
And we wee bit, but I think it 
is. 

62
00:04:22,700 --> 00:04:23,900
I mean, people know what it is. 
A tank. 

63
00:04:24,300 --> 00:04:28,800
It's it's the naked truth from 
1957. 

64
00:04:29,500 --> 00:04:31,200
Yes. 
Did you know add an alternate 

65
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:32,300
tile? 
I did? 

66
00:04:33,300 --> 00:04:35,300
Which was a bit risque. 
I don't know if it was the 

67
00:04:35,300 --> 00:04:37,300
American Title lawyers just 
dropped with. 

68
00:04:37,300 --> 00:04:38,400
Am I right in thinking, it's all
good. 

69
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:42,300
Something like your pasty 
showing your pastor showing yet.

70
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:43,900
Yeah. 
That was the American Title. 

71
00:04:43,900 --> 00:04:48,400
I'm guessing because they were a
bit iffy about having the word 

72
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,600
naked in a film. 
Yeah. 

73
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:52,900
Probably, you know, they're 
makes sense. 

74
00:04:52,900 --> 00:04:57,100
It makes sense with their The 
time to film censorship and that

75
00:04:57,100 --> 00:04:59,100
yeah the highest code was 
probably still in force to 

76
00:04:59,100 --> 00:05:01,500
certain to go. 
Yeah fully been relaxed at it at

77
00:05:01,500 --> 00:05:04,500
this point. 
So another good 10 years of 

78
00:05:04,508 --> 00:05:05,500
steam. 
Yeah. 

79
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,100
Awesome. 
Till sort of like the Bonnie and

80
00:05:08,100 --> 00:05:11,500
Clyde era wasn't it? 
Yeah, that famous or 67 onwards.

81
00:05:11,500 --> 00:05:19,100
Yeah, yeah, so this film Peter 
Sellers regarded it as his first

82
00:05:19,700 --> 00:05:25,400
starring vehicle but technically
he's not the star I mean it's an

83
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,700
ensemble piece to a degree but 
Terry Thomas is top, Builders 

84
00:05:28,700 --> 00:05:30,500
name. 
I think he would have had to 

85
00:05:30,500 --> 00:05:36,400
have been at this stage 1957. 
It's certainly one of the 

86
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:40,800
earliest films where sellers 
gets a chance to really let rip 

87
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:45,900
and sort of explore every aspect
of his repertoire. 

88
00:05:46,100 --> 00:05:48,300
Yes. 
Because he's given a dozen 

89
00:05:48,300 --> 00:05:52,900
characters to play almost, you 
know, amongst a stellar cast. 

90
00:05:52,900 --> 00:05:54,200
You know, it's incredible that 
cellar. 

91
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:59,500
Is almost doing a Alec Guinness,
you know, he's great hero. 

92
00:05:59,500 --> 00:06:02,400
You know, it's almost doing a 
kind hearts and coronets because

93
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:04,600
there's about four or five 
different characters, he plays 

94
00:06:05,100 --> 00:06:09,600
or impersonates, you know, and 
movie absolute. 

95
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,200
And speaking of kind of hearts 
and coronets comes, we have the,

96
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:17,700
the superlative Dennis Price. 
I love Daddy's, I loved about. 

97
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:22,500
Yeah. 
And the thing is, if he never 

98
00:06:22,500 --> 00:06:24,600
plays anybody, particularly 
nice, Ice. 

99
00:06:25,700 --> 00:06:29,200
He's there is always some dark 
side to every tennis price 

100
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,100
character even his later life. 
I mean, he died early 70s, but 

101
00:06:32,500 --> 00:06:35,500
he would appear in some of these
Amicus horror films and things 

102
00:06:35,700 --> 00:06:38,400
and he was never a nice 
character, but you always sort 

103
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:42,000
of a dinosaur gravitated towards
him because I think he just had 

104
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,700
some sort of presence that was 
quite, you know, formidable 

105
00:06:45,700 --> 00:06:49,200
on-screen at least another 
another case, I think he's quite

106
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:52,700
overlooked, when people go back 
to the Sierra and we talked 

107
00:06:52,700 --> 00:06:54,200
about the James Roberts and 
justice. 

108
00:06:54,300 --> 00:06:58,900
Still all the Terry Thomas or, 
you know, those sort of 

109
00:06:58,900 --> 00:07:02,300
character actors and he doesn't 
get mentioned and he should be. 

110
00:07:02,300 --> 00:07:04,700
I think a little bit more. 
Absolutely. 

111
00:07:04,700 --> 00:07:08,400
Because he was, he appeared in a
number of films with sellers. 

112
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:14,700
Well, he painted so many films. 
He reminds me a bit of he. 

113
00:07:15,300 --> 00:07:16,900
Right? 
He played the sort of roles that

114
00:07:16,900 --> 00:07:20,000
denim Elliot would play, sort of
15-20 years later. 

115
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:24,100
Yeah, that's sort of slightly 
raft. 

116
00:07:24,300 --> 00:07:30,100
Fish discrepant, herbal chance, 
almost yeah, bureaucrat as well.

117
00:07:30,100 --> 00:07:34,800
Sometimes Liquor Cabinet member 
or yes I'm sort of minister or 

118
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:40,300
something went to a good school 
and he can display impeccable 

119
00:07:40,300 --> 00:07:42,200
breeding. 
But touchy for a fiver 

120
00:07:54,700 --> 00:07:58,400
Shootings with a bag full of 
brown ale. 

121
00:07:58,700 --> 00:08:02,300
Yes. 
So and you can sort of see as 

122
00:08:02,300 --> 00:08:06,500
his career, went on his face 
became quite puffy and Jalen 

123
00:08:06,500 --> 00:08:07,400
did. 
That's it. 

124
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:09,600
Yeah, you do you do see that? 
Yeah. 

125
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:12,600
So yeah. 
So this is, this is probably the

126
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:16,600
first, I mean, yeah, I'd say 
this is the first of major 

127
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:20,400
starring vehicle for sellers in 
the sense that he, he said, in 

128
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:26,100
1957 that he wanted to be a star
like mad and You know this this 

129
00:08:26,100 --> 00:08:28,600
ambition that he had was to be 
fulfilled. 

130
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:33,799
In fact, he and Peggy Mount 
who's also in this film? 

131
00:08:34,299 --> 00:08:37,000
Yes. 
They they shared the same agent 

132
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:40,799
at the Time. 
Gentleman called Montague, Lion 

133
00:08:40,799 --> 00:08:45,500
of jermyn Street. 
Yeah, well, Monte lion and she's

134
00:08:45,500 --> 00:08:48,300
soshe new sellers before they 
had before they worked together 

135
00:08:48,300 --> 00:08:50,900
on the film. 
And she recalled him talking 

136
00:08:50,900 --> 00:08:53,300
about how he was going to be a 
huge star. 

137
00:08:54,100 --> 00:08:58,100
And She kind of just scoffed at 
them, the very notion, she just 

138
00:08:58,100 --> 00:08:58,700
thought. 
Yeah. 

139
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:04,500
But, you know, he he, he had the
talent, he had the ambition and 

140
00:09:04,500 --> 00:09:07,800
he proved it and they 
absolutely, I mean, this is 

141
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:11,300
still two years after 
ladykillers. 

142
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:16,200
Yeah, which is where he really 
made his mark on the big screen,

143
00:09:16,300 --> 00:09:18,600
you know, that, you know, he 
done a couple of them peel, we 

144
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,400
know he did down among the dead 
men and the who knows he's 

145
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:27,000
ladykillers was the one that 
brought Some sort of scream 

146
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,900
recognition. 
There's not a lot, you know, in 

147
00:09:29,900 --> 00:09:32,200
the build-up to this. 
I mean the the film immediately 

148
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,900
before this was the smallest 
Show on Earth. 

149
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:38,500
Yes, which was the bezel didn't 
directed movie were built 

150
00:09:38,500 --> 00:09:41,200
Travers and Virginia McKenna. 
And I think Margaret Rutherford 

151
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:45,700
was even a couple of others 
which was a bit of a departure 

152
00:09:45,700 --> 00:09:48,400
for didn't because deardon was 
the king of the social problem 

153
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,500
movie, he made things. 
Yeah. 

154
00:09:51,500 --> 00:09:55,900
Things like Sapphire and pool of
Eden, as well as League of 

155
00:09:55,900 --> 00:09:58,600
gentlemen, you know? 
And he go on to do the Roger 

156
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,300
Moore, The Man Who Never Was or 
the main haunted himself, you 

157
00:10:01,300 --> 00:10:03,000
know, in the early 70s, it was 
his last meal. 

158
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:04,600
Yeah. 
Did he do yield to the night? 

159
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:07,800
No, I don't think he did. 
That's the Diana dors one, isn't

160
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:08,600
it? 
I don't think he actually 

161
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,800
directed that one. 
But it's is that sort of era and

162
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:15,000
he saw picked up, it's sort of 
what we described in the real 

163
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,500
but only podcast as the 
precursors to the kitchen sink 

164
00:10:18,500 --> 00:10:21,000
here. 
Mmm-hmm there was this whole 

165
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:24,300
gamma of what they refer to as 
social problem movies. 

166
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:28,500
Didn't direct you to think of 
violent playground with David 

167
00:10:28,500 --> 00:10:31,000
McCallum instead. 
Hmm. 

168
00:10:31,300 --> 00:10:34,800
Yeah. 
It's he said about juvenile 

169
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:38,500
delinquents and the and the 
Demonic effects of rock and roll

170
00:10:38,500 --> 00:10:41,500
on the nation's youth, you know,
it's a very bizarre thing where 

171
00:10:41,500 --> 00:10:44,500
you see David McCallum, going to
this land, zombie-like trance, 

172
00:10:44,500 --> 00:10:47,300
just listening to rock and roll 
music and setting fire to 

173
00:10:47,300 --> 00:10:49,100
buildings and there's an armed 
Siege at the end. 

174
00:10:49,100 --> 00:10:52,300
It's bizarre very bizarre film 
but did and directed This 

175
00:10:52,300 --> 00:10:54,300
Morning Show on Earth did a few 
comedies he did. 

176
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,800
The league of gentlemen, you 
know, which is my officially my 

177
00:10:57,800 --> 00:10:59,300
fourth favorite film of all 
time. 

178
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:01,800
The whole you actually got it, 
ranked a view of the whole area.

179
00:11:03,300 --> 00:11:05,800
I couldn't actually do that. 
As one of the things people ask 

180
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:07,500
Mike, was any a couple of movie 
podcast? 

181
00:11:07,500 --> 00:11:09,500
What's your favorite film? 
Or what's your top Tech? 

182
00:11:09,900 --> 00:11:14,700
It's an ever-changing list. 
But one thing that's constant is

183
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:17,200
Peter Sellers, you know, when 
you look at trying to rank, 

184
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:20,000
Peter Sellers movies, as a 
two-way, stretch is my favorite,

185
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,400
the sellers movie of all time 
closely. 

186
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:24,300
Followed by ladykillers is very 
hard. 

187
00:11:24,500 --> 00:11:27,700
To actually sort of split, those
two, you know, when you get to 

188
00:11:27,700 --> 00:11:30,600
things like this when when you 
watch these after a while and 

189
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:34,700
it's like, oh my God, I forgot 
about the Naked Truth or you 

190
00:11:34,700 --> 00:11:36,300
know, you'll go back and you 
might watch the mouse that 

191
00:11:36,300 --> 00:11:38,400
roared or something like that 
and you think actually that's 

192
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,500
quite good. 
I forgotten how good that was. 

193
00:11:41,300 --> 00:11:44,200
And that's that's the beauty of 
sellers work is so much. 

194
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,200
They're spending a 30-yard year 
Korea. 

195
00:11:47,500 --> 00:11:49,400
You're going to find some 
undiscovered Gems or 

196
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:52,200
rediscovered, some stuff as 
well. 

197
00:11:52,300 --> 00:11:54,800
Yeah. 
And I like it was Watching this,

198
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:58,000
for the first time, I looked 
back on letterboxed where I love

199
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,900
all my movies for the for the 
podcast. 

200
00:12:00,900 --> 00:12:02,900
I realized I'd only watch this 
about 18 months ago on a 

201
00:12:02,908 --> 00:12:06,900
completely forgotten. 
Yeah, I can't remember. 

202
00:12:06,900 --> 00:12:08,900
When I first saw this, it would 
have been during the white heat 

203
00:12:08,900 --> 00:12:12,100
of my goon Obsession. 
When I was a teenager. 

204
00:12:13,300 --> 00:12:16,900
It wasn't to the best of my 
recollection. 

205
00:12:16,900 --> 00:12:20,500
It wasn't the didn't, by the 
way, I'm in the conservatory, 

206
00:12:20,500 --> 00:12:24,100
recording this. 
And next door's, dog has decided

207
00:12:24,100 --> 00:12:25,800
to come. 
Bar can hear it. 

208
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:29,300
That's how I'm daddy must be a 
you must you must be a fan of 

209
00:12:29,300 --> 00:12:30,800
the Hancock podcast and not 
mine. 

210
00:12:34,100 --> 00:12:37,000
So hopefully he will be dragged 
into the house shortly. 

211
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:40,200
But anyway, we'll carry up and 
those it didn't form. 

212
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:44,900
Part of the there was a channel 
for themed or series of Peter 

213
00:12:44,900 --> 00:12:50,200
Sellers films back in 91 92. 
Yeah, and it was, it was the 

214
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:55,500
British era Sellers and I'm sure
that wasn't Part of that, but I 

215
00:12:55,500 --> 00:12:57,200
would have seen it. 
I don't know where I would have 

216
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,800
seen, or where I saw, but I've 
certainly seen a number of times

217
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:01,300
over the years and I absolutely 
adore. 

218
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:06,200
And it's if for me, it's sellers
first opportunity to really Flex

219
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,700
his acting chops. 
His action myself. 

220
00:13:10,100 --> 00:13:14,100
So it was, it was released on 
3rd of December 1957. 

221
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:17,000
I was just doing a little bit of
research, obviously, little bit 

222
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:18,600
of research, you know, doing 
that. 

223
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:20,700
The, the heavy research for 
this. 

224
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,300
And I was looking at a release 
date and I just noticed by the 

225
00:13:24,500 --> 00:13:27,900
This completely unrelated but 
release third of December 1957. 

226
00:13:28,100 --> 00:13:31,500
Now, the day before 2nd of 
December 1957, the day before 

227
00:13:31,900 --> 00:13:35,100
this film was released. 
It was it was a day very 

228
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:37,800
significant for the actor. 
Harrison Ford. 

229
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,500
You know why that would be what?
That one he couldn't have been 

230
00:13:40,500 --> 00:13:42,800
born? 
Surely because he's in his 70s 

231
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:44,200
Now. 
Isn't he mmm-hmm? 

232
00:13:45,500 --> 00:13:50,100
Well, he died. 
Harrison Ford, hmm? 

233
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:52,700
Yeah. 
Not the Harrison Ford that we 

234
00:13:52,700 --> 00:13:57,500
know but there was another 
actor, totally confusing me 

235
00:13:57,500 --> 00:14:00,300
then. 
What do we do this? 

236
00:14:00,300 --> 00:14:02,700
Harrison Ford for anything 
famous at all anything. 

237
00:14:02,700 --> 00:14:08,500
Knowable, the technical term is 
bugger, all he was in a number 

238
00:14:08,500 --> 00:14:11,600
of films back in there, you 
know, I guess, 20s 30s, 

239
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:13,100
whatever. 
But he wasn't the big star. 

240
00:14:13,300 --> 00:14:15,500
But I just noticed that when I 
was, you know, you look at it 

241
00:14:15,500 --> 00:14:18,100
timelines and things of the said
Harrison Ford diet. 

242
00:14:18,300 --> 00:14:21,800
Harrison Ford died. 
I thought somebody died. 

243
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:25,100
So there is this IMDb trivia is 
that they're accurate, you know,

244
00:14:27,900 --> 00:14:32,800
anyway this this film, so it's 
directed by Mario's MP who by 

245
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:37,000
the way Morris Woodruff. 
He was Peter Sellers, rather 

246
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,600
ropey spiritual advisor and 
suppose you'd call them and he 

247
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:43,000
would often advise someone's on 
what projects to take. 

248
00:14:43,300 --> 00:14:45,800
Yeah. 
And yeah, he was getting 

249
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,100
backhanders from movie 
producers. 

250
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:52,000
And what not, but he advised 
sellers that he would be making 

251
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:55,500
a film with someone who had a 
zed in his name. 

252
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:56,900
Okay. 
Alright. 

253
00:14:56,900 --> 00:14:59,200
Okay. 
And I think that possibly had 

254
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:03,300
some bearing on why sellers 
accepted this, this this role 

255
00:15:03,300 --> 00:15:08,200
because director, Mario's and 
p.m. but I think they believe it

256
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,000
or not. 
I think they clashed imagine 

257
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,000
that imagine such a thing 
sellers clashing with the 

258
00:15:12,008 --> 00:15:16,300
directly with anybody. 
Yeah, it's written by Michael 

259
00:15:16,300 --> 00:15:20,400
Pertwee. 
Brother, John and older brother.

260
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:24,800
Now, he also wrote for fans of 
the goons. 

261
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:27,700
He wrote Digby. 
The biggest dog in the world as 

262
00:15:27,700 --> 00:15:32,200
well, which features Spike that 
is that the gym, the gym 

263
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:34,000
Del-One. 
Jim Dale one. 

264
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:35,400
Yeah. 
Yeah, I know it. 

265
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:39,100
I know it well, and by the way, 
quite topical, because at the 

266
00:15:39,100 --> 00:15:43,000
time of recording, we're hearing
all about this operation. 

267
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:50,300
Save big dog. 
But yes it's a showcase, the 

268
00:15:50,300 --> 00:15:53,700
film as a showcase, for his 
talents, he plays ostensibly, he

269
00:15:53,700 --> 00:15:59,300
plays we Sunny McGregor, who is 
a what we think he's Scottish. 

270
00:15:59,300 --> 00:16:04,800
But his accent when he's when 
he's not performing as Sonny he 

271
00:16:04,900 --> 00:16:08,900
his accent sort of ears all over
the place here is a very yeah 

272
00:16:08,900 --> 00:16:14,300
it's it's a very broad Scottish 
accent when he's on stage it's 

273
00:16:14,300 --> 00:16:18,400
almost like cartoon-like 
hogmanay performance when On 

274
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:23,200
stage, you know, but when he's 
backstage talking to his 

275
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:27,100
personal assistant and things 
like, it almost drifts into 

276
00:16:27,100 --> 00:16:29,800
Welsh, which he does when he 
does the Irish accent a little 

277
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:31,900
bit later, which we might might 
get. 

278
00:16:31,900 --> 00:16:36,600
Yes, but he does, it, does it 
does vary in quality, which I 

279
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:39,700
don't know if it's deliberate 
because you know, you'd expect a

280
00:16:39,700 --> 00:16:43,700
man of sellers talents to be 
pretty on the ball with that 

281
00:16:43,700 --> 00:16:48,100
sort of thing, I don't know, I 
don't know, I don't know. 

282
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:51,300
He's deliberate or not, but 
yeah, it's very good qualities. 

283
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,800
Yes, Walter that thick skin 
while is for you. 

284
00:16:56,900 --> 00:16:59,200
Because folks, every week, we 
give one of these beautiful 

285
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:01,600
prizes away. 
Absolutely free and for nothing 

286
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,900
but Walter what used to you is a
pigskin wall. 

287
00:17:04,900 --> 00:17:10,500
If it's empty, it's no use to 
you, is it, is it, right? 

288
00:17:10,599 --> 00:17:12,300
So you know what I'm gonna do 
for you Walter? 

289
00:17:12,500 --> 00:17:14,700
I'm going to fill it. 
I'm going to fill it. 

290
00:17:14,700 --> 00:17:18,400
Walter out of my own pocket 
there, look at that ten, 

291
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:20,300
beautiful new crisp, one-pound 
notes. 

292
00:17:20,300 --> 00:17:26,800
All For You Walter. 
I've been doing that pocket. 

293
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:33,300
Now Walter. 
Did you bring it? 

294
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:35,500
Did you well? 
Let's see it. 

295
00:17:36,300 --> 00:17:41,100
Where is it? 
He's brought his, he has his 

296
00:17:41,100 --> 00:17:48,300
pennywhistle way. 
Good ideas. 

297
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:54,600
But no bit about his land. 
All right. 

298
00:17:54,600 --> 00:18:08,500
Well, that boy, it's all yours. 
Did you hear that Largos handle?

299
00:18:08,900 --> 00:18:10,600
What's he trying to do? 
Pinch my life saw something that

300
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:14,500
stupid on it. 
I'll give you the give a pricey 

301
00:18:14,500 --> 00:18:16,300
of the plot. 
Yeah. 

302
00:18:17,700 --> 00:18:20,400
Like Mala Nigel Dennis 
approaches many of society's 

303
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:23,500
most notable figures threatening
to air their dirty laundry in 

304
00:18:23,500 --> 00:18:25,600
public by publishing. 
The salacious details. 

305
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:29,500
It is new magazine entitled. 
The Naked Truth, a muckraking 

306
00:18:29,500 --> 00:18:32,300
scandal sheet. 
Each of them has two weeks to 

307
00:18:32,300 --> 00:18:35,300
cough up 10,000 pounds. 
We Publishers in a month, our 

308
00:18:35,300 --> 00:18:38,500
film focuses on. 
For his targets, Lord, Henry, 

309
00:18:38,500 --> 00:18:43,100
mainly television personality, 
we Sunny McGregor, author, 

310
00:18:43,100 --> 00:18:46,800
Flora, Ransom and model Melissa,
right, with none of the, for 

311
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,200
either willing or able to stump 
up the cash. 

312
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:52,400
What follows is a series of 
doomed attempts by them each to 

313
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:56,700
deal with the Dennis problem 
once and for all At least of 

314
00:18:56,700 --> 00:18:59,300
plot, I don't think would have 
been covered previously. 

315
00:18:59,300 --> 00:19:02,400
He is quite a unique idea, isn't
it? 

316
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:06,400
Because I don't think that the 
Tabloid sort of Scandal Sheets 

317
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:08,000
Were a thing in this country 
back. 

318
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,100
Then it was, it was definitely 
an American idea. 

319
00:19:10,100 --> 00:19:13,000
Was, I'm getting that idea of. 
Yeah, I think it was. 

320
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:16,400
I think it was. 
So we've touched on a couple of 

321
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:18,600
the cast already but I'll just 
run through the principles 

322
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:20,600
again. 
So we've got Terry Thomas 

323
00:19:20,700 --> 00:19:26,500
Playing Lord, Henry meili. 
Whoo, I didn't quite pick this 

324
00:19:26,500 --> 00:19:30,800
up, but is he he's obviously 
sort of landed gentry of some 

325
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:37,000
description or sort of middling.
Yeah, there's, there's some 

326
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:41,600
point where his wife refers to 
something in his past. 

327
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:47,300
I couldn't make out exactly what
he does or gets up to its comes 

328
00:19:47,300 --> 00:19:50,700
for philanderer, you know, he's 
got some sort of dark side to 

329
00:19:50,700 --> 00:19:55,800
him there but he's definitely 
Definitely some form of nobility

330
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:58,000
because he is referred to as 
Lord, isn't he? 

331
00:19:58,008 --> 00:19:59,600
Lord making. 
So yeah. 

332
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,200
But he also seems to be selling 
insurance on the side. 

333
00:20:02,300 --> 00:20:04,300
This is the thing. 
Do you mean to say that? 

334
00:20:04,300 --> 00:20:06,000
I get all, that was such a small
premium. 

335
00:20:06,300 --> 00:20:10,500
Yes. 
So he's obviously fallen on hard

336
00:20:10,500 --> 00:20:14,500
times or he's not that's high up
in the nobility rankings as we 

337
00:20:14,500 --> 00:20:16,100
expect him to be. 
I don't know. 

338
00:20:16,100 --> 00:20:18,300
It, that was the bit. 
That confused me. 

339
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:22,900
I was looking at earlier that a 
few sort of like, synopses of 

340
00:20:22,908 --> 00:20:25,000
the movie. 
From work it out, but it doesn't

341
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:28,200
give anything away. 
There's nothing to sort of 

342
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:33,600
indicate what he actually is. 
I'm just looking now Wikipedia, 

343
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:39,700
and it just refers to him as 
Lord Henry meili. 

344
00:20:39,700 --> 00:20:41,300
That's all. 
It says it doesn't even say what

345
00:20:41,300 --> 00:20:43,700
his job is. 
So I think you can make of that,

346
00:20:43,700 --> 00:20:45,900
what you will but there's 
definitely something some form 

347
00:20:45,900 --> 00:20:47,600
of insurance salesmen within 
him. 

348
00:20:48,300 --> 00:20:49,500
Yeah, and you mentioned his 
wife. 

349
00:20:49,500 --> 00:20:54,800
Now I know her only from an 
episode of The Prisoner And I 

350
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:56,200
think that's about all she ever 
did. 

351
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:59,400
There was a much in her 
filmography from what I can 

352
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:02,700
remember. 
Yeah, Georgina cookson. 

353
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:05,700
Yeah, yeah. 
Funny enough. 

354
00:21:05,700 --> 00:21:08,800
I just binge watch the whole of 
the prisoner just before 

355
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:10,100
Christmas. 
Right. 

356
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:13,500
First time I'd actually sat and 
watched it in such a short space

357
00:21:13,500 --> 00:21:15,300
of time. 
Normally I would I'd watch its 

358
00:21:15,300 --> 00:21:17,100
or spread over a year or 
something. 

359
00:21:17,100 --> 00:21:21,400
Just watch the other episodes. 
Fascinating story still holds up

360
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:23,800
that that series? 
Absolutely, yeah. 

361
00:21:24,300 --> 00:21:28,700
Let me she spends her character.
Lady Mae Lee, I suppose she's 

362
00:21:28,700 --> 00:21:31,700
Ian. 
She spends the film wandering 

363
00:21:31,700 --> 00:21:37,300
around this large house in 
London, in a dressing gown or 

364
00:21:37,300 --> 00:21:41,300
whatever. 
Yeah, being rather sort of surly

365
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:44,200
towards her husband. 
Yeah, it did. 

366
00:21:44,500 --> 00:21:47,400
You get the impression? 
She's put up with him and he's 

367
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,300
whatever. 
He's bad habits are like, I'll 

368
00:21:50,300 --> 00:21:52,400
give the impression in there. 
And now we're talking about it 

369
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:56,100
that perhaps he, you know, he's 
He's a title gentleman, but 

370
00:21:56,100 --> 00:22:00,400
they'd fallen on hard times. 
He's resorted to selling 

371
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,400
Insurance. 
She's completely resentful of 

372
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:04,100
him and situation. 
She's been putting. 

373
00:22:04,300 --> 00:22:07,600
I might be reading too much. 
He actually thinking about it 

374
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:12,100
because he has to do. 
He has to drum up this 10,000 

375
00:22:12,100 --> 00:22:14,000
pounds. 
Pretty pretty smartish. 

376
00:22:14,300 --> 00:22:16,300
Yeah. 
And there is a scene where he's 

377
00:22:16,500 --> 00:22:20,400
I don't know easy folding his 
father-in-law's nursing home to 

378
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:22,300
check that the old boy still 
with us. 

379
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:25,700
Obviously the wife's Father is 
Rich. 

380
00:22:26,300 --> 00:22:28,100
There you go. 
And that's what he's pinning. 

381
00:22:28,100 --> 00:22:30,800
His hopes on for his future, 
happiness by sleekly. 

382
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:32,600
Yes? 
Yeah, yeah. 

383
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:34,700
And you've got so you got 
obviously. 

384
00:22:34,700 --> 00:22:36,200
Peter says, you've got Peggy 
Mount. 

385
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:40,100
Who plays Flora, who is this 
crime novelist? 

386
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:43,100
Yes. 
Now she I think is one of the 

387
00:22:43,108 --> 00:22:44,900
best things in the film. 
Peggy Mount. 

388
00:22:44,900 --> 00:22:48,900
I know predominantly from 
sitcoms more than ya think. 

389
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:52,400
Ya refreshing to see Peggy 
Mount. 

390
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:57,100
Not playing a bass. 
Battle axe as such because you 

391
00:22:57,100 --> 00:22:59,000
know, good things you're 
thinking of a lot, George and 

392
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:03,200
the Dragon, we just did the seed
James in the late 60s, and the 

393
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:04,900
pack Coons. 
One, that was the late 70s, 

394
00:23:04,900 --> 00:23:06,700
early 80s in the, nursing home 
which name. 

395
00:23:06,700 --> 00:23:08,200
I cannot remember for the 
moment. 

396
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:12,700
Oh, yes, you're correct. 
It's a play on the Bond film. 

397
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:14,500
Are you ready? 
You're only dead One Source. 

398
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:16,900
You're only young so young, 
something like that. 

399
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:26,500
Men spend Saturday afternoon, 
trying to think of a 19th 

400
00:23:26,500 --> 00:23:30,500
century. 
Sitcom title will remember in a 

401
00:23:30,500 --> 00:23:32,000
second I think you're right 
with. 

402
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,300
You're only young once as well. 
That's what it is. 

403
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:39,500
But that was how, you know, you 
mentioned the name Peggy Mount 

404
00:23:40,100 --> 00:23:43,200
and that's the first thing old. 
She's you know, this battle axe 

405
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:46,300
character, that's, you know, 
rolling pin in her hand and a 

406
00:23:46,300 --> 00:23:47,300
penny, you know. 
Yeah. 

407
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:52,600
But she's not, you know, she 
actually has quite a significant

408
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:55,500
role in this, you know, What a 
fair amount of screen time. 

409
00:23:56,500 --> 00:23:59,100
And yeah. 
She's one of the best things in 

410
00:23:59,100 --> 00:24:00,500
the movie. 
Absolutely. 

411
00:24:01,100 --> 00:24:05,700
You know more efficient. 
Why I want some Mickey, Finn's a

412
00:24:05,700 --> 00:24:10,100
Real McCoy Mac before. 
Hostile questions. 

413
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:17,100
Then we have the lovely Shirley 
Eaton feet and turned 85 this 

414
00:24:17,100 --> 00:24:19,500
week. 
I'll so she still with us. 

415
00:24:19,500 --> 00:24:22,700
Then he is still with us. 
Yeah, it turned out you five 

416
00:24:22,700 --> 00:24:25,700
this week a couple years before 
dr. 

417
00:24:25,700 --> 00:24:26,900
Landers it. 
Yeah. 

418
00:24:28,300 --> 00:24:30,200
Goldfinger Goldfinger. 
Yeah. 

419
00:24:30,300 --> 00:24:33,300
The coupling well, quite a few 
years before that, but in the 

420
00:24:33,300 --> 00:24:36,300
run-up to that should be in a 
couple of the early carry-ons 

421
00:24:36,300 --> 00:24:39,300
carry on Nurse current start. 
And I think she might Lean in, 

422
00:24:39,300 --> 00:24:44,600
as well as a lot of her 
filmography is quite extensive 

423
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,300
actually, particularly the 50s. 
There's a lot of movies like 

424
00:24:47,300 --> 00:24:52,200
this that she appears in this 
type of gentle black and white 

425
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:55,400
British comedy, you know, in the
run-up to a Hollywood stardom. 

426
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:59,900
Yeah, so you've got these for so
you've got Terry Thomas, Peter 

427
00:24:59,900 --> 00:25:03,200
sighs, Peggy Mount surely, 
they've all been approached 

428
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:06,200
while many people willing to 
believe that many people at the 

429
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:08,600
sort of top strata of society. 
Hmm. 

430
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:12,100
More or entertainment or 
whatever in the country have 

431
00:25:12,100 --> 00:25:15,000
been approached by Dennis prices
character Nigel. 

432
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:16,800
Dennis. 
Yes. 

433
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:20,100
And he's got some some, some 
sort of smutty gossip about them

434
00:25:20,100 --> 00:25:24,100
that he's threatening to expose 
and we focus on these four 

435
00:25:24,300 --> 00:25:26,200
characters. 
Now male, he's been Indiscreet, 

436
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:29,400
Lord meili has been Indiscreet 
with someone in Regent's Park 

437
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,100
and I'm assuming it's a female 
but that's never made. 

438
00:25:32,100 --> 00:25:35,300
Clear. 
No, that's true. 

439
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:36,600
That's true. 
You know what I mean? 

440
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:38,700
It's kind of when they say 
someone's been in. 

441
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:41,700
Great in a park sometimes it's 
got connotations, hasn't it? 

442
00:25:42,100 --> 00:25:46,000
Cool TV, Serie, then again, 
there's that scene where Shirley

443
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,800
in turns up at the doorstep and 
the wife says, it's another one 

444
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:51,900
of your girls arrived or 
something true, but you never 

445
00:25:51,900 --> 00:25:57,600
know. 
When Sonny McGregor is, is a 

446
00:25:57,608 --> 00:26:00,100
much-loved television 
personality and the old people 

447
00:26:00,100 --> 00:26:02,400
love him, but he's secretly a 
slum landlord. 

448
00:26:02,700 --> 00:26:06,800
Yes, and he has this these this 
property or properties in East 

449
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:10,600
itch. 
Remember what I said but yet to 

450
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:16,100
me that's a bizarre plot sort of
Point that he's a slum landlord,

451
00:26:16,100 --> 00:26:17,800
you know, they could have come 
up with something a bit more 

452
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:21,500
salacious, you know, and it's 
just a bizarre choice of what to

453
00:26:21,500 --> 00:26:24,000
Blackmail somebody with. 
But yeah, but we'll go with it. 

454
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:27,800
Will quite well, I guess he's 
looking, you know, it could be 

455
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:31,200
the ruination of his career 
because he is, you know, 

456
00:26:31,500 --> 00:26:36,100
pensioners live in those slaves.
And if it got out that he was 

457
00:26:36,100 --> 00:26:40,700
the, I don't know that the 
equivalent of From the 50s or 

458
00:26:40,708 --> 00:26:45,000
the 60s, a Tracker. 
If it got out that he was like 

459
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,900
that, then it could ruin his 
career completely course. 

460
00:26:47,900 --> 00:26:50,300
And he's on-screen Persona is 
that he's missed the generous 

461
00:26:50,300 --> 00:26:54,300
isn't he's giving the £10 to the
competition winners of these 

462
00:26:54,300 --> 00:26:57,200
been claiming back on expenses 
or trying to claim 10 guineas 

463
00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:01,100
back from the temple. 
Well, that's the first is what 

464
00:27:01,100 --> 00:27:04,600
we see salads first. 
As we City McGregor, he's on 

465
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:08,900
stage and he's all smiles and 
he's he calls out this There's 

466
00:27:08,900 --> 00:27:11,400
old Chelsea. 
Pensioner who's won that? 

467
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:14,400
Week's prize Talent contest 
contest. 

468
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:16,400
You never said, oh no, he plays 
a Penny Whistle. 

469
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:20,600
That's what it is badly. 
He's going to play. 

470
00:27:20,900 --> 00:27:23,200
We're going to play Largos 
handle on that. 

471
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:27,700
It was it Largos had dog. 
And then, of course, sellers, 

472
00:27:27,900 --> 00:27:30,700
while the pension is playing 
sellers goes off stage and is 

473
00:27:30,700 --> 00:27:34,400
attended to by wonderful Kenneth
Griffith and underneath 

474
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:36,800
Griffith. 
Prisoner alumni. 

475
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:38,600
Yep. 
Achilles Griffith. 

476
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:42,100
Appeared in about five or six 
films with sellers over the 

477
00:27:42,100 --> 00:27:45,000
years. 
Earlier sellers, not surprising,

478
00:27:45,100 --> 00:27:47,100
not surprising. 
On my knee was still acting into

479
00:27:47,100 --> 00:27:49,300
his 70s and 80s. 
He appeared in Four Weddings and

480
00:27:49,300 --> 00:27:52,700
a funeral Kenneth Griffith. 
Yeah. 

481
00:27:53,500 --> 00:27:58,200
So he plays McGregor's 
assistant, essentially his 

482
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:00,100
gopher, I suppose. 
Yeah. 

483
00:28:00,300 --> 00:28:04,500
But sellers dresses up as a 
Chelsea pensioner, and goes out 

484
00:28:04,500 --> 00:28:07,400
onto the stage, and it's this 
transformations in it. 

485
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:11,000
Is he's pretty That he is a man 
of a thousand faces. 

486
00:28:11,100 --> 00:28:13,300
Yes. 
Even though the voice sounds 

487
00:28:13,300 --> 00:28:19,500
like my, yes, any goons fan will
recognize the voices as sellers 

488
00:28:19,500 --> 00:28:24,400
dust around this food. 
Just very quickly, quickly going

489
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:27,700
down the cars, we've got Jones 
Sims, who plays Ethel who is 

490
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,000
Peggy, mounts, daughter and 
Jones. 

491
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:33,700
Sims seems to spend the whole 
film screaming right to the 

492
00:28:33,700 --> 00:28:38,100
carry-ons and actually the early
carry-ons Jones, Sims cornered, 

493
00:28:38,100 --> 00:28:43,400
the market. 
In differing DP Limelight. 

494
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:46,800
Teenagers early, 20 year old 
female characters. 

495
00:28:47,700 --> 00:28:52,200
She was never given an 
intelligent role to play until 

496
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:55,800
the mid Carry On series. 
If you look at the early carry 

497
00:28:55,800 --> 00:29:00,200
on, she's always like the dippy 
teacher and carry on. 

498
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:03,700
So yeah, sure. 
You know, she's the, the student

499
00:29:03,700 --> 00:29:06,700
nurse in carry on Nurse as 
always the bumbling nurse. 

500
00:29:06,700 --> 00:29:08,600
You know, she's the one that's 
always falling over the trolley.

501
00:29:08,700 --> 00:29:13,500
Please and stuff like that, but 
she made a career pre carry-on 

502
00:29:13,500 --> 00:29:16,100
out of that character and she 
shines at it. 

503
00:29:16,100 --> 00:29:20,300
I mean, Tony one of my co-host 
on Rule Britannia says it's his 

504
00:29:20,300 --> 00:29:23,200
favorite carry on actress and 
then when he goes back and looks

505
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:25,900
at stuff like this, he's got a 
real fondness for her. 

506
00:29:27,300 --> 00:29:30,000
Whereas most people when you ask
them about Carry On movies, it's

507
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:31,900
all about the said James, the 
Kenneth Williams, the Barbara 

508
00:29:31,900 --> 00:29:35,700
Windsor, you know, but for him, 
it's always and will be Joan. 

509
00:29:35,700 --> 00:29:39,700
Seems when you look at these you
can see There was a lot more to 

510
00:29:39,700 --> 00:29:43,700
her than the carry-ons. 
Yeah, I always think of Jones 

511
00:29:43,700 --> 00:29:46,600
Sims in carry on at your 
convenience which I think is one

512
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:51,500
of the best where she's just 
she's very matter-of-fact and 

513
00:29:51,500 --> 00:29:53,900
she's she knows exactly what 
she's doing. 

514
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:58,100
Yeah takes No Nonsense but she 
do at heart, she's got a big 

515
00:29:58,100 --> 00:30:02,900
heart see I mean you know those 
later ones you know carry on 

516
00:30:02,900 --> 00:30:06,800
abroad where she's just the ever
suffering, said James wife or 

517
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:08,900
whatever their their sins and 
she does that sometimes So 

518
00:30:08,900 --> 00:30:13,100
naturally, but in the run-up to 
the Joan seems that we know from

519
00:30:13,100 --> 00:30:16,600
those Carry On movies. 
There's a there's a good 10-year

520
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:21,700
career before this in 1957 
almost of constant work for a. 

521
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:25,800
So you know I'm not going to go 
through the film scene by scene 

522
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:29,400
but I'll sort of chat through 
what years essentially. 

523
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:32,900
What happens. 
So you've got Dennis Price, this

524
00:30:32,900 --> 00:30:36,400
blackmailer, he's obviously 
causing a lot of suicides which 

525
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:40,300
is quite startling for a Dark 
seventh film? 

526
00:30:40,300 --> 00:30:43,800
Yeah, all these people 
committing suicide or having 

527
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:47,200
heart attacks because you know 
he's running amok, threatening 

528
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:51,700
to expose their dirty secrets 
and we see we see early on Peggy

529
00:30:51,700 --> 00:30:56,000
Mount as as Flora she even 
attempt suicide by jumping out a

530
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,800
window. 
Does that she fall out the 

531
00:30:58,808 --> 00:31:01,600
window at one point and then 
lands on that. 

532
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:04,200
I weighed some Michael rippers 
fruit stall, isn't it? 

533
00:31:04,208 --> 00:31:05,900
Is my career? 
Yeah. 

534
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:09,900
Yeah, he's not even ready to I 
think, actually, You know, I'm 

535
00:31:09,900 --> 00:31:12,000
Point Shirley Eaton. 
When we get to her, she's 

536
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,800
putting a head in a gas oven. 
Yeah. 

537
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:21,200
But it's been cut off the gas. 
But as you say the piggy bank is

538
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:24,000
literally swinging out of the 
window and stops herself before 

539
00:31:24,300 --> 00:31:26,000
eventually falling out by 
accident. 

540
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:29,100
There's so many layers to this 
movie. 

541
00:31:29,100 --> 00:31:32,100
You know, you've got that dark. 
Very black humor. 

542
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:35,500
Yes, with a little bit of 
knockabout was quite a bit of 

543
00:31:35,500 --> 00:31:38,300
knockabout slapstick in this. 
Actually when we when we get 

544
00:31:38,300 --> 00:31:41,500
through, Yes, particularly 
Sellers. 

545
00:31:41,700 --> 00:31:45,100
And then you, and then we meet 
Terry Thomas, log meili and he's

546
00:31:45,100 --> 00:31:49,300
visited by Dennis Price and 
Dennis Price. 

547
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:51,500
Gives us the plot. 
He basically. 

548
00:31:51,700 --> 00:31:54,400
Well, first of all, he shows 
terry-thomas, I'm just going to 

549
00:31:54,408 --> 00:31:57,600
call him Terry Thomas, he shows 
Terry Thomas, this American 

550
00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:02,500
magazine called scandalous and 
Terry Thomas looks at it and is 

551
00:32:02,500 --> 00:32:04,100
he's a sort of. 
Did he do his nostrils flare 

552
00:32:04,100 --> 00:32:06,100
when he says oh, I think I'll 
enjoy reading this. 

553
00:32:06,500 --> 00:32:08,800
And then, and then Dennis Price 
presents this Us. 

554
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:12,700
I guess it's a mock-up of a 
magazine he intends to publish 

555
00:32:12,700 --> 00:32:18,400
which is called The Naked Truth 
and one page there's a sort of a

556
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:22,200
puff piece I suppose about Lord 
meili and then on the opposite 

557
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:28,900
page, there's a story which 
doesn't name anybody but it's 

558
00:32:28,900 --> 00:32:33,100
just the right side of it. 
As British law stands. 

559
00:32:33,100 --> 00:32:35,800
The public must not be able to 
identify directly. 

560
00:32:35,900 --> 00:32:38,500
That Lord mail is the person 
referred to, in the salacious. 

561
00:32:39,100 --> 00:32:42,700
Yeah, but, you know, you'd have 
to be pretty thick not to do, 

562
00:32:42,700 --> 00:32:44,300
you know? 
This is the there's a loophole 

563
00:32:44,300 --> 00:32:47,200
in the law, isn't it? 
Basically that he's in, he's 

564
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:52,900
sort of like exposing and the 
left hand side of the article is

565
00:32:52,900 --> 00:32:55,500
the public Persona and it's 
quite flattering. 

566
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:58,200
Yes. 
And then the right hand side is 

567
00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:01,300
the dark real truth behind the 
man sort of thing. 

568
00:33:01,300 --> 00:33:04,900
Yeah, yeah, yeah. 
And so we see him some basically

569
00:33:04,900 --> 00:33:08,200
saying pay up in two weeks or by
publishing a month I want. 

570
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:12,400
Thousand pounds, a few you 
afraid, you'll have to pull the 

571
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:14,900
best expose you and by doing 
that rather than further story 

572
00:33:14,900 --> 00:33:16,600
is true, don't you? 
Dare you reset. 

573
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:23,400
This is a must be a way that is 
an immediate cash gift of 10,000

574
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:26,500
pounds, to the distressed 
genders Association of, which I 

575
00:33:26,500 --> 00:33:29,500
am the founder, the treasurer, 
and the so far. 

576
00:33:29,500 --> 00:33:33,500
The only member would I'm shops 
where the editor myself, to 

577
00:33:33,500 --> 00:33:35,500
suppress this particular issue. 
It is blackmail. 

578
00:33:35,500 --> 00:33:37,200
That's different. 
Of course, is different. 

579
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:40,600
Either way I make money. 
Dial up, some in quechua by 

580
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:43,200
raking in royalties will sell 
like hotcakes. 

581
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:48,700
And then, when we see Sonny 
McGregor, and we've already 

582
00:33:48,700 --> 00:33:52,700
talked about the television 
show, and as sellers, or is 

583
00:33:52,700 --> 00:33:57,900
sunny, McGregor is leaving the 
studio, he's mobbed by yeah fans

584
00:33:58,500 --> 00:34:00,000
and it's very interesting that 
scene. 

585
00:34:00,500 --> 00:34:03,500
If you notice, he study, 
McGregor's Peter Sellers playing

586
00:34:03,500 --> 00:34:07,600
slowly McGregor, but Sonny 
McGregor in real life is quite a

587
00:34:07,608 --> 00:34:11,400
narcissistic. 
Quite a sort of selfish petty, 

588
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:14,900
man. 
It was here, who's got an eye 

589
00:34:14,900 --> 00:34:18,100
for the ladies. 
So you see, you see some of 

590
00:34:18,100 --> 00:34:23,000
switching character and mood 
very quickly, from being flirty,

591
00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:27,699
to being quite Kurt, to being 
cheeky, to being quite Blythe, 

592
00:34:27,699 --> 00:34:31,300
to suddenly being startled and 
troubled when Dennis Price 

593
00:34:31,300 --> 00:34:33,300
Scholars, mm and mentions. 
Yeah. 

594
00:34:33,300 --> 00:34:36,500
And mentions this property in 
each Stitch and you see sellers 

595
00:34:36,699 --> 00:34:42,100
see Sonny I should say His his, 
his face, change his mood, and 

596
00:34:42,100 --> 00:34:45,000
his voice changes. 
Just it just from the studio 

597
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:48,600
door, to the car. 
Yeah, there's the whole gamut of

598
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:53,300
emotions and acting range. 
Literally, within seconds there,

599
00:34:53,300 --> 00:34:54,900
isn't there quite right? 
Yeah. 

600
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:57,800
Yeah. 
And we don't know what Dennis 

601
00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:02,200
Price has on Flora, but I want 
to say Flora Robson, but it's 

602
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:05,800
not fly around. 
So we don't know what, he's got 

603
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:07,700
to know exactly what I would 
later on in the film. 

604
00:35:07,700 --> 00:35:10,800
It's Ingested that I don't know 
what she some sort of Goodtime 

605
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:13,300
girl in Shanghai, back in a 
youth, there's something to do 

606
00:35:13,300 --> 00:35:16,800
in Shanghai. 
Again these accusations are 

607
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:21,400
quite vague on there, you know, 
it's and again, you know, modern

608
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:24,200
sensibilities. 
How how scandalous would these 

609
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:31,000
things be today? 
Compared to 1957 Florent some, I

610
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:36,000
can't see exactly what it was. 
She was accused of well we don't

611
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:38,200
know at all. 
What we don't know what Shirley 

612
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:40,500
instead. 
No, no, no. 

613
00:35:40,500 --> 00:35:42,800
I think we need to go back and 
have a little look. 

614
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:46,900
I think try and work out exactly
what the what the issues are in.

615
00:35:46,900 --> 00:35:51,700
Any case, it's important enough 
that Flora wants to bump him off

616
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:55,000
this year. 
She either doesn't want to or 

617
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:58,700
can't pay him and well, 
obviously she doesn't want to 

618
00:35:58,700 --> 00:36:03,900
but she, she immediately when 
he's told her of his intentions 

619
00:36:04,500 --> 00:36:07,300
and threat, you know, threatens 
to expose her as being this. 

620
00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:09,500
Let's just say it would Time go 
back into. 

621
00:36:09,500 --> 00:36:14,300
Yeah yeah she she immediately 
decides that she's going to have

622
00:36:14,300 --> 00:36:18,500
to know deal with them in a 
pretty final way and because 

623
00:36:18,500 --> 00:36:21,900
there's a reference to an old 
trunk up in the Loft and she 

624
00:36:21,900 --> 00:36:24,900
says to me I will go and get 
that trunk and then Ethel sort 

625
00:36:24,900 --> 00:36:27,100
of glances down. 
And one of her books is lying on

626
00:36:27,100 --> 00:36:31,200
the couch and it's something 
like the body in the trunk. 

627
00:36:31,300 --> 00:36:33,400
Was the toll, yell, the trunk 
murders, or something wrong? 

628
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:37,200
He said, yeah. 
And then we see we see Sonny 

629
00:36:38,100 --> 00:36:41,700
Sonny. 
Burning him and he's got a guest

630
00:36:41,700 --> 00:36:45,400
who comes out and, you know, 
they're doing it a bit for the 

631
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:50,500
audience and then the the Old 
Gentleman says that he's from 

632
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:53,500
East ditch quite innocently. 
Yeah. 

633
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:56,500
And this, this is the only bit 
of the film that I felt. 

634
00:36:57,600 --> 00:36:59,100
The whole film is unrealistic. 
Let's face it. 

635
00:36:59,100 --> 00:37:02,800
But this little film Jarred with
me because you've got sellers as

636
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:13,500
Sunny losing his rag because the
guy mentions that he's from each

637
00:37:13,500 --> 00:37:15,500
Stitch. 
This he's got the there's no 

638
00:37:15,500 --> 00:37:19,700
insinuation there but Sonny just
thinks that it is and and flies 

639
00:37:19,700 --> 00:37:23,700
into a rage for no reason 
whatsoever basically. 

640
00:37:23,700 --> 00:37:28,400
Yeah, yeah. 
So So now you've got Sunny 

641
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:32,100
deciding that he also wants to 
bump off Dennis Price. 

642
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:37,300
I guess, the first cell is 
transformation he plays an old 

643
00:37:37,300 --> 00:37:41,200
Boatman doesn't he? 
Because yeah yeah, an inspector 

644
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:44,900
of the waterways or something or
every describes himself as 

645
00:37:44,900 --> 00:37:45,700
doesn't need. 
Actually. 

646
00:37:45,700 --> 00:37:47,700
Yeah, it what he says he's from 
the lung. 

647
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:51,200
I didn't shut it all down, 
London, Euro of boats, barges 

648
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:54,000
and breaks that was it. 
And it's, and it's sellers 

649
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:58,900
dressed as as old geezer. 
With a West country accent, I 

650
00:37:58,908 --> 00:38:02,300
think. 
And he says, and he goes to 

651
00:38:02,300 --> 00:38:05,100
Dennis prices, barge, I gather 
you're getting pressured. 

652
00:38:05,100 --> 00:38:07,700
Dennis Price hasn't got two 
pennies to rub together, really?

653
00:38:07,700 --> 00:38:12,200
Because he drives a bubble car 
and he doesn't yet, he seems to 

654
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:15,400
be, but he's that kind of 
character that that's on his up 

655
00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:16,800
as I suppose. 
Yeah. 

656
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:24,300
But so sellers disguised as 
this, Boatman goes and says that

657
00:38:24,300 --> 00:38:28,600
his boat is dry rot and there's 
a bit of a kerfuffle And 

658
00:38:28,900 --> 00:38:33,200
adjusted this down because you 
see silence doing what I would 

659
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:37,000
call his nervous. 
Acting his nervous, stick right 

660
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:39,700
by that. 
I mean, it's when one of his 

661
00:38:39,700 --> 00:38:42,400
characters. 
I don't know how to describe it.

662
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:45,100
The best way I could describe 
describe it in my favorite 

663
00:38:45,100 --> 00:38:48,200
salads film which is a shot in 
the dark from 64. 

664
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:51,000
Right? 
At the end Dreyfuss is revealed 

665
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:56,800
as being the the man who's been 
killing All these people of 

666
00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:57,800
course. 
Yeah. 

667
00:38:57,900 --> 00:38:59,300
In a vain attempt to kill 
closer. 

668
00:38:59,700 --> 00:39:02,500
Yeah. 
And right at the end he 

669
00:39:02,500 --> 00:39:08,600
completely breaks down and has 
a, he goes Stark staring mad, he

670
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:12,600
starts attacking Graham Stark. 
Ricey clue Saints, suckers. 

671
00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:14,800
He's pleased as a system. 
Yeah see. 

672
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:17,600
Clue. 
So kind of trying to sort of 

673
00:39:18,300 --> 00:39:22,100
dragged him off, but then sort 
of stepping back and then only 

674
00:39:22,100 --> 00:39:24,100
wine. 
Oh yeah, right stepping back. 

675
00:39:24,900 --> 00:39:27,500
Kind of very nervous kind of and
you've got the, you've got 

676
00:39:27,500 --> 00:39:31,000
sellers as the boat men doing 
that as well, Ms. And sellers 

677
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:33,800
does that in a number of, I've 
seen them do that in a number of

678
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:38,800
roles but essentially, I think 
what is what he's trying to do. 

679
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:43,500
He's trying to well, I guess 
he's trying to kill Dennis Price

680
00:39:43,500 --> 00:39:48,100
by Soaring a gangplank almost in
half? 

681
00:39:48,100 --> 00:39:51,700
Yes, good car. 
A good cartoon cloth. 

682
00:39:51,900 --> 00:39:54,600
Yes, isn't it? 
That's a Wily coyote type sort 

683
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:57,600
of Like yeah, you should yeah, 
but of but of course the wrong 

684
00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:00,100
person gets in the drink. 
It's Terry Thomas. 

685
00:40:00,100 --> 00:40:04,300
And that's the first time that 
Terry Thomas, log meili, and 

686
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:08,300
sunny McGregor meat. 
And and while this is going on, 

687
00:40:08,300 --> 00:40:12,900
you've got Flora who I can't 
remember how she hears about 

688
00:40:12,900 --> 00:40:16,400
this but she someone mentions 
about the existence of Mickey 

689
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:19,600
Finn's, right? 
Basically she was a a book 

690
00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:23,400
signing or a murderer's writers 
conference and there's that 

691
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:26,500
rather imposing woman with the 
large glasses in the blond hair.

692
00:40:27,100 --> 00:40:29,500
Oh yes. 
The Agatha Christie Avatar. 

693
00:40:29,700 --> 00:40:34,100
Yeah. 
And she Rings up her no base. 

694
00:40:34,100 --> 00:40:37,300
She goes into the chemist and 
she asked for knockout drops. 

695
00:40:38,100 --> 00:40:40,000
Oh yes she does. 
And the chemist. 

696
00:40:40,100 --> 00:40:43,800
Says you mean a sleeping draft 
and she says you having trouble 

697
00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:45,200
sleeping? 
She's no, I'm sleeping. 

698
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:48,500
Quite well, thank you very much 
because she has no luck at the 

699
00:40:48,500 --> 00:40:50,900
chemist. 
She then brings up this other 

700
00:40:50,900 --> 00:40:54,400
writer colleague of hers. 
And she says if you wanted to 

701
00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:57,000
bump somebody off what do you 
use to knock them out with? 

702
00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:59,600
And she's been over Mickey Finn.
She says that's what you need a 

703
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:01,800
Mickey Finn and where would you 
get them? 

704
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:05,500
And then this author says, well,
I usually get mine from. 

705
00:41:05,500 --> 00:41:09,500
Is it Monty fish? 
This is the third call Monty 

706
00:41:09,500 --> 00:41:10,700
fish. 
I think Marie Marie. 

707
00:41:10,700 --> 00:41:13,900
Fish Maury fish? 
Yes, the Lime House. 

708
00:41:13,900 --> 00:41:15,700
Tavern in the East End. 
Yes. 

709
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:21,400
So she sent so she sent off to 
try and get these illicitly 

710
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:25,100
somewhere or another. 
Yes does she disguises herself 

711
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:29,400
in a bear a as as I'm not quite 
sure what accent? 

712
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:32,700
She's got. 
She tries to do an East End X 

713
00:41:32,700 --> 00:41:34,800
and because then she walks into 
the bar, she's going to ask for 

714
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:37,500
a gin and orange or something. 
Then she realizes Is where she 

715
00:41:37,500 --> 00:41:39,200
is and changes it to a port and 
lemon. 

716
00:41:41,500 --> 00:41:45,700
So we see Terry Thomas who's 
fallen into the canal. 

717
00:41:46,100 --> 00:41:49,800
Hmm he creeps into his house. 
He's soaking wet as wife catches

718
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:52,700
and his wife just seems to be 
permanently prowling around the 

719
00:41:52,700 --> 00:41:56,300
house and she went actually now 
I think yeah I think that's what

720
00:41:56,300 --> 00:42:00,000
it is. 
And she informs him that one of 

721
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:02,700
his girls as phone. 
So she's obviously used to his. 

722
00:42:03,100 --> 00:42:03,900
There we go. 
Yeah. 

723
00:42:03,900 --> 00:42:06,500
Discretions near Delicacies in 
Fidelity's. 

724
00:42:07,300 --> 00:42:09,400
And she's almost kind of amused 
by it. 

725
00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:12,700
It's a bit of a game, isn't it? 
Because if you think about it, 

726
00:42:12,700 --> 00:42:15,300
if she manages to divorce him, 
he's not going to see a penny of

727
00:42:15,300 --> 00:42:16,700
her inheritance. 
Is he? 

728
00:42:16,900 --> 00:42:19,500
No, she's probably trying to 
catch him out with some concrete

729
00:42:19,500 --> 00:42:22,100
evidence at the end of the day, 
and she says, the school has 

730
00:42:22,100 --> 00:42:25,200
taught telephone, she said she's
in trouble which obviously had 

731
00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:28,000
was quite suggestive back. 
And here's yeah. 

732
00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:32,500
And of course, this is because 
Shirley Eaton has been to the 

733
00:42:32,500 --> 00:42:37,000
barge and she's managed to break
into the filing. 

734
00:42:37,100 --> 00:42:39,300
Cabinet that. 
Yeah, as the the mock-up 

735
00:42:39,300 --> 00:42:42,600
magazines and she seen Lord 
meili protons here. 

736
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:46,900
So she turns up and she 
basically, I think she just 

737
00:42:46,900 --> 00:42:50,000
wants to go to the police and 
lay it all bear in. 

738
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:51,900
Obviously, Terry. 
Thomas doesn't matter what to do

739
00:42:51,900 --> 00:42:54,100
that. 
So he says, buys himself some 

740
00:42:54,100 --> 00:42:58,100
time. 
He's got some sort of half plan 

741
00:42:58,100 --> 00:43:01,400
hatching, I guess. 
It's like this we're doing a job

742
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:04,000
in London. 
Dizzy Albert, Ayler tile. 

743
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:07,000
And we've run right out of the 
jelly and with this filled with 

744
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:09,700
They could truth. 
I think it's best known seen 

745
00:43:09,700 --> 00:43:12,700
Sonny. 
We study McGregor going over the

746
00:43:12,700 --> 00:43:19,300
water, to Dublin to procure some
gel at night to build a bomb. 

747
00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:23,800
Yes, jelly, do you want to 
describe the scenes? 

748
00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:28,300
He walks into a bar, the does he
actually go to Dublin? 

749
00:43:28,300 --> 00:43:32,600
I got the impression that, you 
know, when he's sort of 

750
00:43:32,607 --> 00:43:35,100
discussing where he can get 
explosives from there, so we 

751
00:43:35,107 --> 00:43:36,900
don't have to go to Ireland. 
He says, hang on. 

752
00:43:36,900 --> 00:43:40,600
I've got I've got a better idea.
I'm all right, possibly not. 

753
00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:43,400
Then possibly just at the Irish 
bar somewhere close to what he 

754
00:43:43,408 --> 00:43:46,000
thinks is. 
Yeah, what is inhabited by Irish

755
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:47,600
punters? 
You know, and it turns out that 

756
00:43:47,700 --> 00:43:52,600
picks the wrong people, but he 
turns up in this bar in a 

757
00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:56,500
disguise and I can only describe
it to Modern audiences that 

758
00:43:56,500 --> 00:44:00,400
those that watch the last season
of the Alan Partridge show, 

759
00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:04,000
where he has the Irish get 
remember this? 

760
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:04,900
I do. 
Yes. 

761
00:44:05,300 --> 00:44:08,500
And it is a very similar Style. 
Makeup with the heavyset 

762
00:44:08,500 --> 00:44:11,900
eyebrows, I don't know if he's 
got a false teeth in, but he's 

763
00:44:11,900 --> 00:44:16,300
got this thick, black hair. 
I think there's sideburns is 

764
00:44:16,300 --> 00:44:19,300
quite thick, seti appears 
thicker set than usual. 

765
00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:24,200
And he's got this outrageous 
higher exact same thing about go

766
00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:26,400
away and Donegal the blardy 
blar, you know? 

767
00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:30,000
But he's also, he's got the nose
as well and he had, yeah, 

768
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:33,800
because when he gets punched, it
gets spread across his face, it 

769
00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:40,000
quits, Goes up to two guys that 
he thinks are obviously going to

770
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:43,900
be Irish in these Irish bar, and
in the ask them, you know, I'm a

771
00:44:44,500 --> 00:44:48,900
yes we says, I'm over here doing
a job so that made me think he's

772
00:44:48,900 --> 00:44:50,300
come over from Ireland to 
London. 

773
00:44:50,300 --> 00:44:53,300
So he's either in an Irish bar 
and he said, I need to get hold 

774
00:44:53,300 --> 00:44:56,900
of some jelly. 
And it turns out that as one of 

775
00:44:56,900 --> 00:44:58,500
the guy stands up and punches 
him. 

776
00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:00,600
That, that was. 
What does he say? 

777
00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:02,900
Does he say? 
He says it in an English accent.

778
00:45:02,900 --> 00:45:04,900
Doesn't need the guy that 
punches him or something. 

779
00:45:04,900 --> 00:45:07,900
There is an entire issue at all.
Hold the country. 

780
00:45:07,900 --> 00:45:09,600
So nice, a bloody Englishman or 
something. 

781
00:45:09,600 --> 00:45:13,400
There's no, it's got these nice 
Irish because he goes in and he 

782
00:45:13,500 --> 00:45:16,200
taught all intense purposes is 
an Irishman, but then he starts 

783
00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:18,800
speaking Welsh. 
Yes, he does. 

784
00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:21,600
That that long town named did 
goddamn, doesn't it? 

785
00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:26,100
Yeah. 
And he wants some some jelly 

786
00:45:26,100 --> 00:45:30,500
because he wants to build up the
butthole and where does he refer

787
00:45:30,500 --> 00:45:33,200
to it? 
The Albert it's the Albert Hall 

788
00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:34,800
at all. 
Hold at all. 

789
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:40,700
That was it? 
Yeah, excellent. 

790
00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:44,500
Yeah and I think I'm blind 
straight away. 

791
00:45:44,500 --> 00:45:46,600
There was a problem, like gets 
punched in the face. 

792
00:45:46,600 --> 00:45:50,000
Punched in the nose, an English 
man. 

793
00:45:50,000 --> 00:46:04,600
All right, 
I like to think that character 

794
00:46:04,900 --> 00:46:09,900
is maybe an uncle Or even the 
father of the character that 

795
00:46:09,900 --> 00:46:12,400
cell has played in that episode 
of Sykes. 

796
00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:15,900
You see also blimey? 
Yes. 

797
00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:20,000
Yeah, because he's got the hair,
he's got the nose is quite heavy

798
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:23,000
set and it's not an Irish 
accent. 

799
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:24,900
Be does play it with an accent, 
doesn't he? 

800
00:46:26,100 --> 00:46:28,600
He's not playing it out. 
He's a nice tent, is a cockney. 

801
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:32,300
That was I knew there was some 
accented, because I always get 

802
00:46:32,300 --> 00:46:35,500
that mixed up, nothing came back
of Leonard. 

803
00:46:35,500 --> 00:46:38,700
Rossiter in the Steptoe episode 
where he breaks Child, uh-huh. 

804
00:46:38,900 --> 00:46:40,600
Yes because Leonard Rossiter 
Play. 

805
00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:42,900
Somebody similar, doesn't he 
plays this East End? 

806
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:44,500
Like villain? 
That's broken out of jail. 

807
00:46:44,500 --> 00:46:46,100
He's Johnny. 
Johnny somebody. 

808
00:46:46,100 --> 00:46:48,700
Yes, yeah, yeah, the Desperate 
Hours. 

809
00:46:48,700 --> 00:46:51,400
I think, was that the episode? 
Yeah, yeah. 

810
00:46:51,900 --> 00:46:56,900
So we have, we have sellers, 
obviously the bomb idea didn't 

811
00:46:56,900 --> 00:46:58,400
come off so he, they're not 
going to happen. 

812
00:46:58,700 --> 00:47:03,200
He decides to visit a gunsmith 
and try and secure a rifle. 

813
00:47:07,100 --> 00:47:11,100
It's It's almost it's like one 
of those farces, you know the 

814
00:47:11,100 --> 00:47:13,800
bedroom farce is where there's 
like four different plots going 

815
00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:16,700
on at the same time and you know
they're all going to meet at 

816
00:47:16,700 --> 00:47:17,900
some point. 
Yeah. 

817
00:47:17,900 --> 00:47:22,000
With you know equal amounts of 
confusion and kerfuffle going 

818
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:23,400
on. 
Yes. 

819
00:47:24,700 --> 00:47:26,900
And it you're just waiting 
because you know the four of 

820
00:47:26,908 --> 00:47:29,300
them are going to jail at some 
some point it's all going to 

821
00:47:29,300 --> 00:47:31,500
come together. 
Yeah we'll see seat. 

822
00:47:31,500 --> 00:47:33,500
So Terry Thomas Lord mainly 
hizmet's. 

823
00:47:33,500 --> 00:47:37,000
Only McGregor, he has met 
Shirley Eaton. 

824
00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:39,600
And he goes for good and 
sufficient reasons. 

825
00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:44,100
He goes to Flora ransoms house 
and gets Mickey finned by 

826
00:47:44,100 --> 00:47:47,900
mistake. 
My go into that. 

827
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:51,700
There's an interesting saying 
though where you have David 

828
00:47:51,700 --> 00:47:56,800
Lodge mind, what else? 
By policemen, they pleased to 

829
00:47:56,800 --> 00:48:00,600
announce not, you may not know 
this but about five years ago, 

830
00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:06,300
with my good friends over at a 
podcast, jaffa cakes for proust.

831
00:48:06,900 --> 00:48:09,700
All right. 
We recorded an episode which is 

832
00:48:09,700 --> 00:48:13,300
basically all about David Lodge,
playing policeman in films. 

833
00:48:14,500 --> 00:48:18,600
I bet there's a few, there's I 
remember checking at the time, 

834
00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:22,800
they're at least 17 18 
policeman, he played in his 

835
00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:26,400
career and we covered about. 
What was it? 

836
00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:30,600
Three four films. 
We talked about, and sure enough

837
00:48:30,600 --> 00:48:34,100
in the Naked Truth, he turns up 
as a policeman was going to meet

838
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:38,700
and you have this great scene 
where Salazar Again disguises 

839
00:48:38,700 --> 00:48:43,800
The Boatman hmm. 
He's trying to avoid his eye and

840
00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:46,800
trying to look innocent trying 
to look circumspect. 

841
00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:51,100
Yeah, but just ending up looking
thoroughly thoroughly 

842
00:48:51,100 --> 00:48:54,800
suspicious, beautiful evening, 
Constable beautiful evening 

843
00:48:58,100 --> 00:49:00,000
whether that there's a point 
where he catches sight of him 

844
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:03,800
and David Lodge actually spins 
around in a complete circle to 

845
00:49:03,800 --> 00:49:07,400
take a second. 
Look at him, it's amazing. 

846
00:49:07,800 --> 00:49:11,000
And another thing is, I mean, 
you've seen all the bloopers and

847
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:13,200
the outtakes from The Pink 
Panther movies where they're 

848
00:49:13,200 --> 00:49:16,600
corpsing you know because the 
pair of them couldn't look each 

849
00:49:16,600 --> 00:49:21,200
other in the eye and is similar 
with his relationship with Spike

850
00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:23,000
as well. 
When he appeared in the Q&A and 

851
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:26,900
you know all those other 
q-series he played policeman in 

852
00:49:26,900 --> 00:49:28,300
probably a dozen of those as 
well. 

853
00:49:28,300 --> 00:49:33,500
Not including the the movies. 
Yeah and such was the friendship

854
00:49:33,500 --> 00:49:38,700
with him Sellers and Spike, you 
know that they just Couldn't 

855
00:49:38,700 --> 00:49:40,700
work together without laughing 
all the time. 

856
00:49:40,700 --> 00:49:44,100
Like and just imagine that, you 
know, he was brought on board 

857
00:49:44,100 --> 00:49:49,800
because they were great friends.
And yeah, you can just see the 

858
00:49:49,800 --> 00:49:52,700
twinkle as well within the 
relationship with them. 

859
00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:56,000
You know, you'll find half of 
the people that you spot on the 

860
00:49:56,008 --> 00:49:59,800
screen are not listed but you 
know their name you know David 

861
00:49:59,800 --> 00:50:02,300
Lodge you know Ed Martin you 
know Mario for Britt. 

862
00:50:02,300 --> 00:50:06,200
See Wilfred Lawson was the 
contestant on the TV show if you

863
00:50:06,207 --> 00:50:08,800
look underneath that make But 
that's a famous face that 

864
00:50:08,900 --> 00:50:10,600
Michael Ripper. 
We mentioned earlier. 

865
00:50:10,600 --> 00:50:12,700
You know, he's not credited. 
Yes. 

866
00:50:12,700 --> 00:50:19,100
Yes, I'd also playing Cedric 
playing the fiance of Flora. 

867
00:50:19,100 --> 00:50:25,900
Rob of Flora, Manson is the, the
wonderful cherubic looking miles

868
00:50:25,900 --> 00:50:28,000
medicine. 
Oh, good morning! 

869
00:50:28,200 --> 00:50:31,300
Mrs. Ransome, approaches out, 
but we are expecting a back and 

870
00:50:31,300 --> 00:50:33,700
get come in. 
Well, I am Zahra die. 

871
00:50:39,300 --> 00:50:41,700
Stop. 
I wasn't on a little inquiry but

872
00:50:41,700 --> 00:50:44,500
I'm missing Kevin, he trusts in 
him, see red zones position, I 

873
00:50:44,500 --> 00:50:47,200
don't feel no, no, I have no 
idea but I'm sure my sister. 

874
00:50:47,200 --> 00:50:54,400
And the boy is the relationship 
there because Joan seems refers 

875
00:50:54,400 --> 00:50:59,600
to him as daddy. 
He's I think I believe he's 

876
00:50:59,800 --> 00:51:03,100
Flores betrothed because her 
first, right? 

877
00:51:03,100 --> 00:51:07,800
Died out in Asia. 
All right, I think, and and 

878
00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:10,000
Miles mellough soon, I think 
it's one of those sort of 

879
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:16,000
permanent engagements because I 
couldn't quite well that I knew,

880
00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:20,500
they were close friends and and 
Joan seemed refers to him as his

881
00:51:20,500 --> 00:51:22,600
daddy. 
And I'm thinking, well, he's 

882
00:51:22,600 --> 00:51:25,400
that her father and they're 
divorced, you know, the parents 

883
00:51:25,400 --> 00:51:28,300
are divorced, but there's no 
indication of that, you know. 

884
00:51:28,300 --> 00:51:29,700
It was just weird. 
Trying to work out. 

885
00:51:29,800 --> 00:51:32,300
Yeah, she said mi malleson 
cropped up in Wyoming. 

886
00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:35,500
Quite recently, we reviewed dead
of night. 

887
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:37,200
I'm Roberto. 
Yes. 

888
00:51:37,600 --> 00:51:41,900
Yeah he plays The Undertaker 
room for one more inside, you 

889
00:51:41,900 --> 00:51:46,100
know, that's in there. 
Yes, coronets as well. 

890
00:51:49,500 --> 00:51:55,400
That's it. 
The generally plays clergyman or

891
00:51:55,400 --> 00:51:58,500
yes. 
Well he's magistrates and 

892
00:51:58,500 --> 00:52:01,600
things. 
Yeah, he's always cheerful 

893
00:52:04,200 --> 00:52:13,500
confused. 
I'm all right jack as senior, 

894
00:52:14,600 --> 00:52:19,200
his father at one point but I 
think he is in that 

895
00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:36,900
as well. 
He's definitely one. 

896
00:52:36,900 --> 00:52:41,300
I think he was probably in every
single Peter Sellers film of the

897
00:52:41,300 --> 00:52:44,600
50s and early 60s. 
Let's face, it wouldn't surprise

898
00:52:44,600 --> 00:52:45,600
me. 
Yeah. 

899
00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:50,300
So, yes, as you sort of alluded 
to that the four of them 

900
00:52:50,300 --> 00:52:53,300
eventually do come together. 
Yeah. 

901
00:52:54,300 --> 00:52:58,700
More by accident than, by Design
course and they hit upon this 

902
00:52:58,700 --> 00:53:03,000
idea. 
This plot was planned to not to 

903
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:07,200
kill. 
Dennis Price but to basically 

904
00:53:07,200 --> 00:53:09,700
ship him off to South America. 
Yeah. 

905
00:53:11,200 --> 00:53:14,600
Now this would be the point. 
I would say we're because up 

906
00:53:14,600 --> 00:53:18,000
until this point, the film has 
been just a series of almost 

907
00:53:18,000 --> 00:53:20,200
like a series of sketches I 
guess. 

908
00:53:20,600 --> 00:53:25,000
But we're now into the third act
essentially and this is where in

909
00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:27,100
fact it's pretty the last 20 
minutes of the film essentially.

910
00:53:27,100 --> 00:53:30,000
Yeah just all comes together. 
Doesn't it of this point you 

911
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:31,000
know? 
Yeah. 

912
00:53:32,900 --> 00:53:37,300
Terry Thomas and Peter Sellers 
contrived this plan where 

913
00:53:37,300 --> 00:53:41,500
they're going to somehow I guess
kidnap, Dennis Price. 

914
00:53:42,100 --> 00:53:46,200
Bundle them onto a boat to 
Colombia or somewhere like that.

915
00:53:46,200 --> 00:53:47,900
I think somewhere in South 
America, isn't it? 

916
00:53:47,900 --> 00:53:51,700
Yeah, yeah. 
And there is there's a scene 

917
00:53:51,700 --> 00:53:56,500
where again, sellers dressed as 
the old boat, man, has broken 

918
00:53:56,500 --> 00:54:00,900
into the, barge into Dennis 
prices, barge, I forget what 

919
00:54:00,900 --> 00:54:03,400
he's trying to do, but he's, 
here's someone. 

920
00:54:04,200 --> 00:54:06,300
Coming. 
So he hides under the bed and 

921
00:54:06,300 --> 00:54:08,900
then you see this pair of feet 
coming and sitting on the bed? 

922
00:54:08,900 --> 00:54:09,600
Yeah. 
Eight. 

923
00:54:09,600 --> 00:54:13,300
And then, and I want to ask you 
about this because at this, I've

924
00:54:13,300 --> 00:54:17,100
never understood this. 
You see from sellers POV. 

925
00:54:17,100 --> 00:54:19,700
So from that you don't see see 
from under the bed. 

926
00:54:19,700 --> 00:54:24,400
You see another pair of feet 
turning up and it's clearly a 

927
00:54:24,400 --> 00:54:25,500
female. 
Because we're yeah. 

928
00:54:25,500 --> 00:54:26,700
Use. 
Yep. 

929
00:54:26,700 --> 00:54:29,900
And they clearly, they kiss. 
Because she does that thing with

930
00:54:29,900 --> 00:54:32,300
her leg where she raises it? 
Yes. 

931
00:54:32,500 --> 00:54:35,300
What the hell is all this? 
I've never understood that. 

932
00:54:35,300 --> 00:54:37,600
That's it. 
That's just signify kissing. 

933
00:54:37,700 --> 00:54:41,500
Isn't it pretty much? 
Yeah, and then you then get the 

934
00:54:42,000 --> 00:54:45,400
feeling he's there for quite an 
extended period of time all 

935
00:54:45,400 --> 00:54:48,000
night. 
I think so is he's obviously on 

936
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:50,300
the wrong boat. 
No, he's not. 

937
00:54:50,300 --> 00:54:53,400
He's not. 
All right boat but Dennis Price 

938
00:54:53,400 --> 00:54:57,000
had let it the day before. 
Oh that's what it was right. 

939
00:54:57,000 --> 00:54:59,400
Oh God because he's there. 
All night. 

940
00:55:00,500 --> 00:55:03,700
Just basically stuck until he 
can make his bid for Freedom. 

941
00:55:03,700 --> 00:55:05,200
Yeah. 
Well They're presumably making 

942
00:55:05,200 --> 00:55:07,800
whoopie all night because it's a
young couple. 

943
00:55:08,800 --> 00:55:12,500
Anyway, the police arrest Dennis
Price because I think, by this 

944
00:55:12,500 --> 00:55:14,900
point Shirley Eaton, may have 
tipped them off. 

945
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:19,300
So they arrest Enterprise, but, 
and he ends up in prison at, 

946
00:55:19,300 --> 00:55:21,700
this is what I don't understand 
because it's like, has there 

947
00:55:21,700 --> 00:55:24,400
been a trial? 
I don't know if this is the 

948
00:55:24,400 --> 00:55:28,800
thing up to this point is 
cracking along nicely. 

949
00:55:28,800 --> 00:55:31,100
You know, we've got these three 
or four separate stories. 

950
00:55:31,100 --> 00:55:35,300
We've got a wonderful plot that 
you're engaged in It starts to. 

951
00:55:35,300 --> 00:55:38,400
I'm not saying the film fail 
spectacularly, but it starts 

952
00:55:38,400 --> 00:55:43,400
crumbling a little towards the 
end, trying to find a denouement

953
00:55:43,400 --> 00:55:45,000
to the whole thing. 
You can see why. 

954
00:55:45,000 --> 00:55:47,400
I mean, it was nice, but we 
weren't his right knee was 

955
00:55:47,400 --> 00:55:48,900
thinking, right? 
I've got all of this happening. 

956
00:55:48,900 --> 00:55:53,700
How do I, how do I resolve this?
And it does become where you 

957
00:55:53,700 --> 00:55:54,900
mention something was a little 
bit. 

958
00:55:54,900 --> 00:55:57,600
Unbelievable becomes very 
unbelievable in the very final 

959
00:55:57,600 --> 00:56:01,400
scene. 
And it is, it's just like, okay 

960
00:56:01,400 --> 00:56:04,100
well I've got all of these 
ganging up on him. 

961
00:56:04,200 --> 00:56:06,600
I'm trying to get their revenge 
and to prevent him doing what 

962
00:56:06,600 --> 00:56:09,300
he's supposed to be doing. 
How do I achieve that and it 

963
00:56:09,300 --> 00:56:14,700
just becomes a bit patchy this 
began which is the only failure 

964
00:56:14,700 --> 00:56:16,500
of the movie in my opinion. 
You know. 

965
00:56:16,500 --> 00:56:18,300
It's the only thing that lets it
down. 

966
00:56:18,700 --> 00:56:21,000
Yeah. 
So all that people need to know 

967
00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:26,500
is that with the collusion of 
what to 300 other people because

968
00:56:26,500 --> 00:56:28,000
there's so many people. 
That's right. 

969
00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:30,800
Because yeah, the filing 
cabinet, they get everybody 

970
00:56:30,800 --> 00:56:32,900
involved. 
And then there's this elaborate 

971
00:56:33,500 --> 00:56:36,700
Scheme to get the police. 
This was it, wasn't it to get 

972
00:56:36,700 --> 00:56:40,600
the police engaged somewhere 
else, they're all making fake 

973
00:56:40,600 --> 00:56:45,200
telephone calls? 
Yes, yeah, by 999 or whatever, 

974
00:56:45,200 --> 00:56:48,200
to get the police distracted. 
Is that how it works? 

975
00:56:48,200 --> 00:56:50,100
Yes. 
So that so that, yeah, Sellers 

976
00:56:50,100 --> 00:56:54,400
and Terry Thomas can kidnap, 
Dennis Price and they take them 

977
00:56:54,400 --> 00:56:57,900
onto a boat, and then they take 
him on to her again. 

978
00:56:57,900 --> 00:57:00,100
I don't understand this, they 
take him on to an Airship. 

979
00:57:00,400 --> 00:57:03,100
This is the bills to say is just
like this, just the convenience.

980
00:57:03,900 --> 00:57:06,600
Tie up the whole thing. 
You know, I wrote in my notes. 

981
00:57:06,600 --> 00:57:10,000
No, Shirley in other words, 
you've got, you've got Flora, 

982
00:57:10,800 --> 00:57:15,300
you've got sunny and you've got 
Lord meili and Dennis Price on 

983
00:57:15,300 --> 00:57:18,500
this Airship. 
But Melissa, she's not there. 

984
00:57:18,500 --> 00:57:21,200
She's not there. 
Dennis Price. 

985
00:57:21,200 --> 00:57:23,500
Wakes up doesn't realize, he's 
on an Airship. 

986
00:57:23,500 --> 00:57:26,800
He says that he wasn't going to 
expose them anyway, and they've 

987
00:57:26,800 --> 00:57:28,500
destroyed all the evidence 
against him. 

988
00:57:28,800 --> 00:57:33,000
So up yours essentially walks 
out the door, but doesn't 

989
00:57:33,200 --> 00:57:36,100
Realize that he's twenty 
thousand feet up above the ocean

990
00:57:36,500 --> 00:57:40,800
and and we presume parishes and 
it's a happy ending or is it 

991
00:57:40,800 --> 00:57:47,000
because for some reason sellers 
has a loaded pistol and shoots 

992
00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:51,100
it and much like a balloon, 
whether the air deflates from 

993
00:57:51,100 --> 00:57:53,100
it. 
It the the Airship sort of 

994
00:57:53,300 --> 00:57:57,000
skitters around the sky and we 
presume that they all die as 

995
00:57:57,000 --> 00:57:59,800
well. 
Yeah, I can only assume that 

996
00:57:59,800 --> 00:58:02,400
that last 5-10 minutes was 
written by somebody else. 

997
00:58:02,400 --> 00:58:04,900
I don't know. 
He just doesn't fit in. 

998
00:58:04,900 --> 00:58:09,000
It's just, as I say we were 
doing so well up to this place. 

999
00:58:09,400 --> 00:58:13,800
Yeah, I still I still, I'm 
still, I still go with it that 

1000
00:58:13,800 --> 00:58:15,800
way. 
I think they left as a says, at 

1001
00:58:15,800 --> 00:58:19,300
the end and the titles at the 
end, were the end dot dot dot? 

1002
00:58:19,300 --> 00:58:21,600
Or is it so possibly? 
They were leaving open for a 

1003
00:58:21,607 --> 00:58:26,000
sequel. 
Now, I was thinking the possible

1004
00:58:26,000 --> 00:58:28,700
matter right back in the day, 
you know, you couldn't end a 

1005
00:58:28,700 --> 00:58:36,200
film where the bad guys product 
So I'm assuming that because 

1006
00:58:36,200 --> 00:58:40,600
let's face it, the three of 
them, they were fairly ropey 

1007
00:58:40,600 --> 00:58:41,700
individuals. 
Let's face. 

1008
00:58:41,700 --> 00:58:43,700
It are whiter than why are they 
so clean? 

1009
00:58:44,200 --> 00:58:45,400
We didn't put it. 
They won't hit there. 

1010
00:58:45,400 --> 00:58:48,400
Weren't heroic. 
That's Maya may be wondering 

1011
00:58:48,400 --> 00:58:49,800
that. 
Is that why surely Eaton's 

1012
00:58:49,800 --> 00:58:52,400
character wasn't on the Airship?
Because she seemed to be the 

1013
00:58:52,400 --> 00:58:56,700
only one who had any sort of the
scintilla of decency about or 

1014
00:58:56,700 --> 00:58:58,900
sensibility. 
Yeah. 

1015
00:58:59,000 --> 00:59:01,400
Because she was the one that was
originally going to go to the 

1016
00:59:01,400 --> 00:59:03,100
police where all the others were
just going. 

1017
00:59:03,200 --> 00:59:04,900
Trying to exact their own 
Revenge killing. 

1018
00:59:04,900 --> 00:59:09,700
Yeah. 
Yeah, it's just bizarre perhaps.

1019
00:59:10,100 --> 00:59:13,800
They'd it just seems that ending
was tacked on and if it was 

1020
00:59:13,800 --> 00:59:16,800
tacked on, was it a point where 
surely wasn't available for 

1021
00:59:16,800 --> 00:59:18,300
filming? 
You know could be something as 

1022
00:59:18,300 --> 00:59:21,100
simple as that. 
It may have been a completely 

1023
00:59:21,100 --> 00:59:24,200
Rewritten leading to what was 
planned you know possibly. 

1024
00:59:24,200 --> 00:59:26,100
Yeah. 
Because it does seem yes it does

1025
00:59:26,100 --> 00:59:28,700
seem like you're right. 
It does seem like it's from a 

1026
00:59:28,700 --> 00:59:30,600
different film completely. 
Yeah. 

1027
00:59:31,000 --> 00:59:32,600
And it could have been shot very
quickly. 

1028
00:59:32,600 --> 00:59:35,200
I guess. 
Us in case only one scene is 

1029
00:59:35,200 --> 00:59:37,500
literally two minutes at the 
very most. 

1030
00:59:37,600 --> 00:59:40,400
Yeah, that's, that's my theory 
thinking about it. 

1031
00:59:40,400 --> 00:59:42,600
Now, talking to you, I hadn't 
really thought about it, but I 

1032
00:59:42,607 --> 00:59:45,400
just knew there was something 
the bugged me about, you know, 

1033
00:59:45,400 --> 00:59:48,000
you've got this elaborate 
staging of all the people 

1034
00:59:48,000 --> 00:59:50,900
calling 999 and setting all of 
this up and you think this is 

1035
00:59:50,900 --> 00:59:52,000
gonna be great. 
You know, there's going to be 

1036
00:59:52,000 --> 00:59:55,600
this massive great crowd by sort
of like Revenge. 

1037
00:59:55,700 --> 00:59:57,100
You know, they'll get him or 
whatever. 

1038
00:59:57,100 --> 00:59:59,900
I don't know. 
And it just did just Fizzles 

1039
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:02,800
towards the end in something 
that's not quite as satisfying 

1040
01:00:02,800 --> 01:00:04,700
as you You know, you'd hope it's
Abby. 

1041
01:00:04,800 --> 01:00:06,500
Yeah. 
It doesn't have an ending like 

1042
01:00:06,500 --> 01:00:09,600
for example two-way stretch 
which to me is a satisfying 

1043
01:00:09,800 --> 01:00:12,300
ending. 
Exactly absolutely. 

1044
01:00:12,700 --> 01:00:18,800
Yeah, and apparently during 
takes during this film peg him 

1045
01:00:18,800 --> 01:00:23,200
out like to knit and she knitted
blue jumpers for the whole cast 

1046
01:00:25,200 --> 01:00:27,200
that sleepy Mount doing that 
actually? 

1047
01:00:27,200 --> 01:00:28,800
Yeah. 
That that Rings true. 

1048
01:00:28,900 --> 01:00:36,400
Yeah, so overall I Apart for the
last fifteen, twenty minutes. 

1049
01:00:36,400 --> 01:00:38,700
I think this film is solid, I 
like it very much. 

1050
01:00:38,700 --> 01:00:42,700
Yes, for sellers performance, I 
do like Terry Thomas. 

1051
01:00:42,700 --> 01:00:47,200
I've never been a huge 
terry-thomas only say, although 

1052
01:00:47,300 --> 01:00:52,300
my favorite performance of his 
is in the going to get it wrong.

1053
01:00:53,100 --> 01:01:00,400
The Amicus portmanteau film that
he was in V of horror, or is V 

1054
01:01:00,400 --> 01:01:03,700
of horror, I think, where he's 
living in this, Early modern 

1055
01:01:03,700 --> 01:01:07,400
house for 1974 year. 
Do you know what I mean? 

1056
01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:10,100
Yeah, because I always get those
small ones mixed up. 

1057
01:01:10,100 --> 01:01:13,200
Always turn to theater of blood 
or yeah, okay. 

1058
01:01:13,200 --> 01:01:16,000
Dennis price of it. 
Yes, he did, you did amongst 

1059
01:01:16,000 --> 01:01:18,600
others, Robert Morley and all 
those guys didn't fall of 

1060
01:01:18,600 --> 01:01:24,200
Horrors, the one with Tom Baker 
and Michael Craig and all those 

1061
01:01:24,200 --> 01:01:26,800
guys. 
Isn't it on villains in it. 

1062
01:01:26,800 --> 01:01:29,200
Cut, your organs is. 
Yes, it's got ya. 

1063
01:01:33,200 --> 01:01:48,900
He's the man whose Name Escapes 
me at least Jones, who was the 

1064
01:01:48,900 --> 01:01:52,700
mother in Mary Poppins. 
Yes, she ends up murdering 

1065
01:01:52,700 --> 01:01:54,600
terry-thomas. 
I'm sorry, spoilers here folks, 

1066
01:01:54,600 --> 01:01:58,800
but, but she murdered him and 
dismembers. 

1067
01:01:58,800 --> 01:02:03,000
His entire Anatomy just members 
here lately and Bottles it. 

1068
01:02:03,200 --> 01:02:06,900
Also going to possibly little 
jars, doesn't she would labels 

1069
01:02:06,900 --> 01:02:09,700
on them and stuff. 
But the great little thing 

1070
01:02:09,700 --> 01:02:13,400
little touches that the camera 
set of scans on this as eyeballs

1071
01:02:14,000 --> 01:02:17,300
with this is Aires. 
And look, there's his teeth with

1072
01:02:17,300 --> 01:02:20,000
The Gap. 
Exactly. 

1073
01:02:20,000 --> 01:02:24,200
Yeah, exactly brilliant. 
Because if I remember rightly, 

1074
01:02:24,200 --> 01:02:28,400
there's something, he's nagging.
Her is only because she isn't a 

1075
01:02:28,400 --> 01:02:32,600
very neat and tidy person, but 
the final scene is that 

1076
01:02:32,600 --> 01:02:35,000
everything. 
His neatly placed in jars. 

1077
01:02:35,300 --> 01:02:38,400
Everything's cassia everything 
is all organized and organized 

1078
01:02:38,400 --> 01:02:40,800
at the end, but that was his big
bug bear with her. 

1079
01:02:40,800 --> 01:02:44,500
That she wasn't an organized 
neat and tidy person. 

1080
01:02:45,000 --> 01:02:47,700
He had extreme OCD. 
Can't you do anything. 

1081
01:02:47,700 --> 01:02:49,900
They can't. 
You do anything meekly. 

1082
01:03:06,100 --> 01:03:09,600
So yes. 
So overall thoughts. 

1083
01:03:09,600 --> 01:03:11,100
Anything else you want to say 
about this film? 

1084
01:03:11,100 --> 01:03:14,100
Taking this one. 
Going to agree exactly what you 

1085
01:03:14,100 --> 01:03:17,500
said. 
I mean, for me, you know, a big 

1086
01:03:17,500 --> 01:03:21,600
fan of British movies and 
particularly this era. 

1087
01:03:21,600 --> 01:03:25,700
The 50s is just an untapped full
of great stuff. 

1088
01:03:25,700 --> 01:03:29,300
You know, we've got that this is
almost a golden age. 

1089
01:03:29,300 --> 01:03:33,200
You know, when we go through 
that cast, and as we said at the

1090
01:03:33,200 --> 01:03:36,900
beginning, Being a surprising 
that this isn't mentioned as 

1091
01:03:36,900 --> 01:03:39,700
much as it should be, but then 
perhaps it is because of that 

1092
01:03:39,700 --> 01:03:44,400
last five minutes, ten minutes 
or so that people of sat through

1093
01:03:44,400 --> 01:03:48,400
an hour and 20 and gone. 
That's that spoil it for me. 

1094
01:03:48,400 --> 01:03:53,100
You know, I think of that ending
have been slightly different and

1095
01:03:53,100 --> 01:03:55,900
I think this would be held up 
there with those other movies 

1096
01:03:55,900 --> 01:03:59,500
that have these great ensemble 
cast that we always turn to yes.

1097
01:03:59,500 --> 01:04:02,400
You know, and it's a shame, it's
a shame. 

1098
01:04:02,400 --> 01:04:04,500
But if you can Put up with that 
last five minutes. 

1099
01:04:04,500 --> 01:04:06,500
It's not it's not excruciating, 
me, bad. 

1100
01:04:06,500 --> 01:04:08,400
We're not saying that. 
By any way, shape or form. 

1101
01:04:10,200 --> 01:04:12,700
You're going to be in, for a 
good 90 minutes of solid 

1102
01:04:12,700 --> 01:04:15,600
entertainment. 
We've got a great performance 

1103
01:04:15,600 --> 01:04:18,100
from Sellers. 
As you say, we get the full 

1104
01:04:18,100 --> 01:04:22,400
range, you know, he's given free
rein to doing a huge number of 

1105
01:04:22,400 --> 01:04:25,400
accents and comic personas Terry
Thomas. 

1106
01:04:25,400 --> 01:04:31,800
I do like Dennis Price, we spoke
at length, solid Dependable, you

1107
01:04:31,800 --> 01:04:35,500
know, And so very early 
performances for Shirley Eaton 

1108
01:04:35,500 --> 01:04:39,800
and Joan seems who again you 
know, this early stage of their 

1109
01:04:39,800 --> 01:04:42,500
career tend to get overlooked 
because they're better known for

1110
01:04:42,500 --> 01:04:45,700
their latest stuff. 
Yes, go back and watch it highly

1111
01:04:45,700 --> 01:04:48,400
recommended. 
Absolutely, yeah, she really was

1112
01:04:48,400 --> 01:04:51,500
in carry on Nurse, wasn't she? 
Yeah, I think she may have had a

1113
01:04:51,508 --> 01:04:54,400
bit part in Sergeant as well. 
I think she worked in the came 

1114
01:04:54,400 --> 01:04:56,300
team. 
She wasn't the one in carrier 

1115
01:04:56,300 --> 01:05:01,100
nurse Who placed the daffodil? 
Will she do? 

1116
01:05:01,100 --> 01:05:02,800
We know I do food. 
Hide Wilfried? 

1117
01:05:02,800 --> 01:05:07,100
Hi Dwight, it might be this, two
of them, that played the trick 

1118
01:05:07,100 --> 01:05:07,900
on him. 
I can't remember. 

1119
01:05:07,900 --> 01:05:09,900
Who is nothing? 
Joan seems might be one of them.

1120
01:05:10,100 --> 01:05:14,300
Yeah, great, it's one of the 
better carry on Films. 

1121
01:05:14,300 --> 01:05:17,500
Again, people tend to gravitate 
towards that color stuff, you 

1122
01:05:17,508 --> 01:05:21,500
know, sort of post Cleo Cleo to 
can pigs or the era. 

1123
01:05:23,200 --> 01:05:27,500
But I would really urge people 
to go back and look at nurse 

1124
01:05:27,900 --> 01:05:31,700
Regardless Constable cabbie is 
absolutely fantastic. 

1125
01:05:31,700 --> 01:05:33,400
You know. 
Yes. 

1126
01:05:34,300 --> 01:05:37,500
Some of them a lot better than 
what you think of carry on film 

1127
01:05:37,500 --> 01:05:38,800
actually is. 
Yeah. 

1128
01:05:38,800 --> 01:05:42,500
Yes it was. 
It was the guy Hugh Des kind of 

1129
01:05:42,500 --> 01:05:44,900
thing, a name that broke Norman 
yet, normal duties. 

1130
01:05:44,900 --> 01:05:48,600
She foretold what Rothwell got 
his Matty, pause on the secret 

1131
01:05:48,600 --> 01:05:53,100
sect change, changed it all 
completely then and the thing 

1132
01:05:53,100 --> 01:05:55,400
is, as well, I think Shirley 
Eaton appeared in carry on 

1133
01:05:55,400 --> 01:05:58,500
Admiral the year before this, 
which wasn't a Real hell, yeah. 

1134
01:05:58,600 --> 01:06:02,900
Yeah, Scott. 
Thank you so much again, for 

1135
01:06:03,200 --> 01:06:06,800
taking the time to speak to me 
and talk about this, this, this 

1136
01:06:06,800 --> 01:06:10,000
fine film. 
Now, I know, obviously you've 

1137
01:06:10,000 --> 01:06:11,700
been on before, you've talked 
about it before, but there will 

1138
01:06:11,707 --> 01:06:14,000
be people that have not heard 
your first appearance. 

1139
01:06:14,000 --> 01:06:17,800
So do you want to just talk us 
through the plethora of podcast?

1140
01:06:17,800 --> 01:06:21,300
You, I will be with us as quick 
as I can on this one. 

1141
01:06:22,900 --> 01:06:26,500
The first one I started its in 
its ninth year, was the stinking

1142
01:06:26,500 --> 01:06:29,900
paws. 
PA, you SE and, and that was 

1143
01:06:29,900 --> 01:06:34,400
just a general review of classic
movies, but we go right up to 

1144
01:06:34,400 --> 01:06:36,800
date with that. 
You know, and that's just myself

1145
01:06:36,800 --> 01:06:39,200
and a couple of friends we get 
together and we just review a 

1146
01:06:39,207 --> 01:06:43,100
movie every month that was 
swiftly followed by real 

1147
01:06:43,100 --> 01:06:45,900
Britannia. 
Which is, I think we're, you 

1148
01:06:45,900 --> 01:06:49,800
know, we got to know each other 
through that podcast which is a 

1149
01:06:49,800 --> 01:06:53,700
separate entity but it focuses 
completely on British movies 

1150
01:06:53,700 --> 01:06:57,500
from the silent era and we'll go
right up to modern day. 

1151
01:06:57,700 --> 01:07:00,000
That you know, but in between, 
we've got the kitchen sinks, the

1152
01:07:00,000 --> 01:07:04,100
carry-ons, you know the John 
Mills stiff-upper-lip, war 

1153

1154
01:07:08,000 --> 01:07:12,300
right up to the film for stuff. 
You know, we doing everything in

1155
01:07:12,300 --> 01:07:14,200

the moment, Rainbow Valley is a 

1157
01:07:19,308 --> 01:07:24,400

1158
01:07:24,400 --> 01:07:27,500
ago haven't put one out for 
about a year because I'm totally

1159
01:07:27,600 --> 01:07:30,300
Bogged down with all these other
ones at the moment that is still

1160
01:07:30,300 --> 01:07:33,100
going. 
There's an episode I'm working 

1161
01:07:33,100 --> 01:07:34,900

making of zulu.
