Confessions of a Plumber's Mate

Product Information

But underneath the surface is pure gold – the result of Janice’s jailbird husband’s latest haul – and the new owner of the loo seat is Detective Inspector Wallings. Unfortunately for Timmy, Dad and Mum are in a ghostly mood too, and they have a very unusual (and unclothed) coming together . . . Carry On Up The Khyber (1968) In India, Private Jimmy Widdle (Charles Hawtrey) is discovered wearing underpants under his kilt, shattering the myth of Scottish invincibility… Prior to Pop Performer, a sequel called Confessions from the Clink was considered but never got further than production notes.

In no time at all, Dad has the widow and her fellow mourners singing along in a rousing chorus of My Old Man Said Follow The Van. The Night The Prowler (1978) This unusual Australian psychological drama stars Kerry Walker as Felicity Bannister, a lumpish, neurotic Sydney girl living with her middle-class… Playing Against Type: Caroline Ellis (Glad in Holiday Camp) was best known for mostly playing innocent girls on children's TV and took the role to (unsuccessfully) break into more mature roles. Arriving at the station, they get into the first car they see – which just happens to belong to a funeral party. The tone is set by the opening shots of a rain-swept Havant railway station, and the main narrative unfolds in a grey Hayling Island.

eBook Details

A fifth and a sixth film, Confessions of a Plumber's Mate and Confessions of a Private Soldier, had been planned in 1977. Filming was set to begin on Plumber's Mate at the end of February 1978. Robin Askwith even expressed a desire to direct Private Soldier, but neither film materialised (the former became Adventures of a Plumber's Mate). In November 1977 the studio cancelled plans for future films. Columbia Pictures president David Begelman, who had been very supportive of the British film industry and who had green-lit the first film, had been implicated in a cheque-forging scandal and either quit or was fired. His successor had no interest in financing low-budget, profitable British films. This is great fun until the arrival of a new manager, Mr Whitemonk. He decides to change the bad habits and in doing so turns their lives into hell. That is until somebody has a rather good idea. Fake Scot: The Scottish Mr. Truscott from Driving Instructor was played by the Welsh Windsor Davies.

Every opportunity for smutty innuendo is seized in this hospital comedy as Debbie Ash suffers countless indignities in the title role. Life is just a bowl of grapes for Timmy Lea (Robin Askwith) and his brother-in-law Sid (Anthony Booth) as they lie in the sun at the Funfrall Holiday Camp. As Entertainment Officers, their job is largely about keeping themselves entertained. Nothing is going to keep Timmy’s Mum (Doris Hare), Dad (Bill Maynard) and sister Rosie (Sheila White) from a free holiday at the camp. One of the girls, Brigitte (Linda Hayden), is a camp host and, therefore, ineligible for the contest, but she still has a very close relationship with Timmy.

About this book

Rosie Dixon‘s funniest moment probably happened off-screen. When the movie was nearing completion, Belling and Parsons innocently invited the parents of cast members Peter Mantle and Carolyne Argyle onto the set. What the Reverend W E Mantle and Judge Major Michael Argyle thought of their offspring appearing in a soft-core porn film was never reported. Sid’s boss, old Crapper (Stephen Lewis), sends him to change a toilet seat for the kinky Janice and, after more sexual skirmishes, our likely lad sells the seat to an antique dealer for 50 pence.
