    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      This is the final "film" Eric Morecambe made before he died in 1984. Like Ernie, he was reportedly very unhappy with the finished result, as they had originally been led to believe they were going to make an actual feature film, wiith Euston Films (Thames Television's in-house filmed drama wing) and not, as it turned out, a videotaped, studio based, TV comedy-drama. It had been the opportunity to make another film that had been a major deciding factor for the duo to leave the BBC and go to Thames/ITV.
    • Goofs
      In the 'Little Sir Echo' sequence in the lounge, Dame Flora falls back in her chair dead. Throughout the film her expression changes.
    • Quotes
      • Ernie: Where is the Scottish Border?.
      • Eric: In bed with the landlady!
    • Crazy credits
      Opening credits show a fake British Board of Film Censors "U certificate" to suggest it's actually a 1946 movie.
