Two years after The Plank. Eric Sykes wrote and directed Rhubarb.

A near silent comedy about Reverend Rhubarb who quietly slips his congregation in church for a round of golf with Inspector Rhubarb (Eric Sykes.)

The game does not go quiet as smoothly as expected. PC Rhubarb (Jimmy Edwards) is hovering about especially when he spots a likely flasher.

Maybe a bolt of lightning might shake things up.

This time Eric Sykes fails to get a hole in one. The Plank worked as a slapstick.

Despite a cast that includes Hattie Jacques, Kenneth Connor, Graham Stark. This is not as fresh or funny. People exclaiming rhubarb frequently gets irritating.
