Featured review
Well stone the crows, I sat the kids down to show them the genius that was Tommy Trinder where he plays a former army man now doing well in civvy street as a spiv.
The film came out several years before Carry on Sergeant but this one was not as good, then again Trinder was not much cop as a comic or as an actor.
A group of civilian reservists arrive at their army camp to do their two weeks refresher training where they basically get treated like dirt. One of the soldiers has to resist the amorous advances of Dora Bryan.
Well smack bang in the middle of the movie, convicted kiddie fiddler Rolf Harris pops up as a soldier. I thought at any moment he might take out his didgeridoo and start playing with it.
Well I had to send the kids to therapy, as I told them, you unlucky people.
