Best Scenes From 'British TV Comedy Spin-off Films of the 1970s'.

[Foxbark]

Greetings Friends,
At risk of hi-jacking his forum and turning it in to something else (one of my other obsessions apart from porn), I would like to cast readers' minds back to the golden age of the 'TV spin-off' films of the 1970s, which as you may recall gave the big-screen treatment to favored TV sit-coms of the period.
The most famous, of course, are the hysterical 'On the Buses' series of films, but virtually all the popular comedy shows had one ranging from Please Sir!, Bless This House, Man About The House, Love thy Neighbour(!), Porridge, Rising Damp, Likely Lads etc etc.
The all seem to date from 1972 and seem to be made by Hammer studios.
My own favourite is the first Steptoe movie.The scene involves Albert imposing himself on Harold's honeymoon (with a busty stripper), and Albert noisily and disgustingly munches a lobster at the dinner table slurping loudly and picking at the claws with his teeth, giving the immortal quote 'There's more meat in the claws' when reprimanded.The morning afterwards, Albert is violently sick and ruins the holiday, pathetically tellling Harold he is dying.THe conversation goes thus:
ALBERT: Harold, I'm dying, get me out of this place, take your poor old Dad home wiyh you.
HAROLD: But I've arranged for the Doctor to come round and see you.
ALBERT: The Doctor's no good, he's a w*g Doctor.
HAROLD: But your own Doctor's a Pakistani!
ALBERT: But yer Pakistani is yer British sort of w*g.

Yes, in those resolutely un-PC days this was what 'classic British comedy' was all about.
