    • Quotes

      David Chaytor: Look, Janet, um, what I wanted to tell you is, um, or rather, well, having decided to tell you, I'm just going to give it to you pretty straight, in plain English. You see, it's like this, I mean, um, well, after all, although you know me pretty well, you may well feel, that I shouldn't, um, although, of course, I, I do hope you don't, but I can hardly blame you if you do. Still, there it is.

    Amusing by the numbers comedy with a fine cast of British stalwarts

    No great surprises, but well-played and cheerfully delivered, if somewhat predictable comedy goings on with more British character actors than you can shake a stick at. Cecil Parker is in especially good form and Irene Handl and Joyce Grenfell as always conjour humour out of next to nothing.
