From simple slapstick to complex rib ticklers and the many satisfying pratfalls in between, The Golden Age Of British Comedy will leave you in stiches - and have you lining up for more. Featuring 10 classics from the 50s & 60s guaranteed to keep you chortling along. LADIES WHO DO: When resourceful office cleaner Mrs. Cragg (Peggy Mount, Oliver!) saves a discarded cigar from one of her clients and offers it over to another, a whole new business opportunity presents itself and she enlists her colleagues to challenge the gentsat their own game. Also featuring Robert Morley and Jon Pertwee. LIGHT UP THE SKY: A rag-tag team of soldiers including the mischievous McGaffey brothers (comedy legend Benny Hill and Tommy Steele) face the ups and downs, ins and outs and occasional tomfoolery of defending their great nation against the threat of invasion during WWII. DOUBLE BUNK: Climb aboard the ramshackle riverboat of Jack (Ian Carmichael, Light Up The Sky) and Peggy (Janette Scott, School For Scoundrels) as they test the waters of marriage and friendship and struggle to stay afloat. Also featuring Sid James. TROUBLE IN STORE: The first film in Norman Wisdom's hugely successful slapstick series finds him working in the stock room of a department store and dreaming of becoming a window dresser. ON THE BEAT: Norman Wisdom's Pitkin, the most famous incarnation of his riotous buffoon character, is dreaming of something better and wants to become a policeman like his father. THE SMALLEST SHOW ON EARTH: Newlyweds Matt and Jean Spencer (Bill Travers and Virginia McKenna, Born Free) inherit a small-town fleapit cinema along with the theatre's eccentric and inept staff, including drunken projectionist Percy Quill (the immortal Peter Sellers). DOWN AMONG THE Z MEN: The Goon Show, spearheaded by Peter Sellers and Spike Milligan, is one of the greatest comedy teams of all time. Here, the classic radio troupe star in a hilarious caper involving a secret formula, an absent minded professor, shifty crooks and the army. FUTTOCK'S END: A weekend gathering at the decaying country home of the eccentric General Futtock (Ronnie Barker) produces a series of saucy mishaps between staff and guests. HOME OF YOUR OWN: Starring Ronnie Barker, this noisy but wordless comedy of errors follows a group of bumbling builders as they attempt to construct a housing block while taking endless cups of tea. THE HORSE'S MOUTH: Alec Guinness stars as the eccentric, roguish painter Gully Jimson who is released from prison, where he served a month for harrassing his former benefactor and goes out of his way to improve himself and his lot in life.
