A must see for any Eric Morecambe fan

A very funny and unique film in that it is the only known work of Eric Morecambe without his partner Ernie Wise. Instead Eric is accompanied by the delightful Madelaine Smith, with Tom Baker as we remember him in his Doctor Who days. and a narration by the irreplaceable John LeMesurier.

Word is that this unusual little film with its at time winning performances and script was shot on a shoestring budget in a couple of days. Oh why didn't someone give them the time and money to show what they could have done? Nonetheless, it contains some vintage Morecambe moments, and shows that Eric could undoubtedly have had a successful solo career.
