Director : Ray Cooney & John Luton
Running Time : 90 mins
When John Smith (Dyer) ends up in hospital after stopping a mugging and doesn’t come home, his wife Michelle (Van Outen) reports him missing. Unfortunately, so does hi wife Stephanie (Harding), and it isn’t long before John is forced to rope his neighbour Gary (Morrissey) into helping him cover up the fact that he’s been married to both of them for five years.
I loved the Carry On films, and if you replaced the cast with Sid James, Joan Sims, Barbara Windsor and Bernard Bresslaw respectively, this could easily have been one. Sadly this feels incredibly dated and, in spite of being filled with cameos from some of the biggest British comedy stars of the 60s, 70s and 80s, this is so cringe worthy that only a fan of old school British farce could possible find anything redeemable in this. With jokes like characters being called Dick and Fanny, and the police being worried about someone giving a wrong address rather than trying to catch crooks, this old fashioned farce has its moments but is largely car-crash TV.
