The plankThe plank 27min 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c16dU2Jasrg Comedy film, 1979 Starring: Eric Sykes, Arthur Lowe, Lionel Blair Master of comedy Eric Sykes explored the visual side of humour to great effect in The Plank, which he wrote (and also directed) almost entirely without dialogue: it principally comprised mime, slapstick, effects and clever ideas. The premise saw Sykes and assistant Arthur Lowe needing one plank of wood to complete a floor but then getting into scrapes galore when transporting said lumber from timber yard to building site. Along the way a galaxy of TV stars aided or obstructed their cause. |

Thanks Carl. Truly a classic... I love the soundtrack and it`s great to see all those familiar faces in one movie. I was wondering if Joanna Lumley would make an appearance and then she popped up with Harry H Corbett. Amazing.
