    Absolute pleasure watching a classic comedy. Better than the dross they call comedy these days 😂

    Born in the thirties, grew up in the forties, so I remember these old films and Will Hay in particular. He was a mega star then and the most popular comedian in the country. He ligjhtened our lives during WW2 but sadly, never made really old bones. Best wishes to any contemporaries who remember him with affection, like me. England, January, 2024.

      Like the manwithnoname , these films were very special to us in the 80’s/90’s. So very funny, they are such an important part of British culture, i used to salivate when Albert made that bacon, it looked so tasty , we didnt have much , but these films and the famous five books helped us through many summers, i still watch them regularly. Ronald, it must have been amazing seeing these films in the cinema

      @dcdel1 sorry Dcdel I've only just seen this comment, it's good to know that there are others out there whom will hay films meant so much to 👍🏻 and I agree about the bacon when Albert's cooking breakfast .... or was it someone cooking Albert 😂😉

    One of the finest and perfectly comedy films ever made,by truly brilliant cast with Will Hay and co,t then in 80s remade poorly but watchable with Cannon and Ball.

      @billygillan821 ahhh yes it was titled "The Boys in Blue" I saw it when I was young, and upon hearing that it was supposedly a remake of ask a policeman, I remember thinking that it was nothing like Ask a policeman whatsoever, and because of that I wasn't able to give it a fair go at entertaining me, I just kept wishing I was watching Hay Moffatt and Marriott 😂

    I absolutely cringed to watch the headlights and sidelights being smashed off the front wings of this quality drophead Talbot before it was driven through the shop window : .
    Not possible to determine the model , could be a 75, 90 or possibly a 105 . Certainly rare coachwork with 'pram iron' hood on this chassis, possibly by 'Carlton' and couldn't have been any more than 4-6 yrs old at the time of filming : Tragic waste !
