Which is what a comedy is supposed to do! Really good film whatever the critics say - felt a bit sorry for Anthony Jackson who'd been Trevor in the TV programme.
This is one of the best ITV comedies such that its episodes, should be made available on the ITV Hub so we can still enjoy them.It does crop up on the box though strangely not via ITV sources, it's available on the CCXTV Channel.
Those where the days, they say, and Don 't we Know this, as seen in this movie, I quite liked that old Morris Minor open top car Mike said " this car has been to around the world and back" to Kate I ask myself, How did mike pull a stunner like her?? after all, Kate 's Father said, " that boy 's not all there" I also liked the plastering of the walls disaster!
With 'Bless This House' proving a hit on ITV, it was inevitable that a feature film spin-off would eventually appear. This 1972 film was written by Dave Freeman and produced by Gerald Thomas, both of which worked with Sid James on the 'Carry On' films.
"Bless This House" was never going to be the sort of sitcom where there would be any depth to the writing or any attention to characterization. It is Sid James who makes this comedy worth seeing as he does his usual.
From what I have seen of the TV series, it is a very enjoyable one that is funny and relaxing to watch. This spin off movie is not too bad, but it is nothing exceptional.
I really like Bless This House, it isn't my favourite show ever, but it is fun and relaxing. The look of the series may be a little dated by today's standards, but I do like the scenery especially and the camera work was nice.
Typical 70s sitcom here...the ones of which todays comedians look down on...
