    Good Clean Comedy

    In today's world it is good to be able to laugh, this film takes us back to the time of old time music hall. It is simple and funny, even children used to computers and modern graphics enjoyed the good clean fast dialogue and slap stick.

    Nostalgia rules

    Good clean fun with a wonderful snapshot of times gone by. Not a great plot or film, but worth watching for a harmless hour of pure nostalgia

    Easy Watching

    Easy watching, very funny in parts, especially the map reading scene. The film also has Will Hay's two side kicks, Moore Marriott and Graham Moffatt. They sadly do not make films like this anymore, would highly reccommend to anyone who likes British comedy.
