I've probably seen this movie 20 times in my life and I can't believe I never picked up this before, Tom Walls not only stars but directs this movie. All star cast across the board as most of these oldies did, it's what makes them timeless.

Two of my Grate Aunts were born in England, and my grandmother kept in touch w/ friends and relatives in England if I remember right. They all knew and sung the popular Music Hall 🎵 songs. Almost all my life I have tried to remember those old songs from my childhood, but strange, my own mother and my other aunts were not interested 💔 in keeping alive and remembering songs stories we enjoyed as children. Even worse, they would complain about "Rock n' Roll" but then they would do almost anything to destroy the past. They'd say, "Why are you keeping that old thing." My opinion, most people are crazy. They are conflicted about the past. They want to keep the past and destroy the past all at the same time. At 82 yrs old, in many moves, I have lost and abandoned many things I've tried to save and honestly grieve over 💔 the loss over so many "beautiful memories" I would have liked to share..😢. Thanks for your post, as it is a comfort and pleasure to remember 😊 the past.

this is my 2nd most wanted series to see episodes come back(Doctor Who being the first and "holy grail") but the chances of more billy bunter are pretty much impossible due to it being pre 60s tv. I would love to see any more of this come back, Bunter is such a little shit and amuses me greatly

A creaky Quota Quickie Mystery from Twickenham Studios. Looks more like a Filmed Theatre Play. But I do like leads----the Handsome John Stuart and the coolly elegant Viola Keats. Funny, both leads are really Scottish - born rather than "English".

Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam ." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window ? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?

PC 49 gave all his energy to noticing the cold, getting his illegal cup of tea and kissing his wife, completely ignoring the direct order by his boss to keep an eye open for exactly the thing that actually happened, completely caught off guard in handling it. Then he had the nerve to ask his superiors if they would mind letting him in on solving it.

I was nine years old when this was first aired on television. I will be seventy three in two weeks time. Television then was far nicer than it is today. I was born and raised in Feltham Middlesex (now surrey) and moved at the age of twenty one to live in Florida USA. Jack Warner portrayed the true and now extinct character of the British people of that time. Today to live in London one needs to learn Urdu in order to fit in. So, so sad.

Mrs. Browning, a fifth grade school teacher of mine said to her class, over and over again, "What a tangled web we weave when we practice to deceive...😮." (Interesting early sound films, speaking formal "literary" English to persons not properly introduced. In real life, from what I vaguely remember and learn, the horrible wars generally broke that protocol of "etiquette.") Just context, I am 82.

82 yrs on planet Earth, as context for what follows. Two of my great aunts were born in England. I was born in 1941. The city of Trenton, New Jersey, was settled by the English and until the late 1960's "high 'middle' class" English culture had a "subliminal" influence. Yes ! Naturally, "American society was a 'melting pot.'" Would not have changed it for anything in the world. Every second of of almost every hour was joy and happiness in childhood. ON TOPIC: NO commercial television until 1948. I was 8 yrs old when I saw my first TV show at a neighbors house, "It's Howy Duddy Time !" Definitely not English. Pure America. That is my point, "cultural influence" is still, now, today a commercial enterprise." I miss the pretention of middle class English and attempts at proper eloqusion of the English language. Not posh snobbery, but 1940's was war time. No sarcasm, but thanks to G*D that most of the horror of war did not hit America. Nevertheless, there where many English relocated to the United States. And, not only for hospitality, but for sympathy and common culture many people tried to accommodate the British as best as possible. That is the point. Europe has another war, and without a common language spoken with diction to communicate ideas as best we can, w/a common culture a collapse, a "nervous breakdown" will happen in social communities, that will take away what little pleasure and happiness we can get out of life. Again, suicide is up, depression is up, in almost every group from teenagers to old people, from homeless, to high school and college kids. Minority to majority if we do not go back to our "roots," our traditional values and "folk culture," including being polite and civil (when we can) all is lost. We will loose every little bit of happiness we can get out of life. This film is the way it was. Think on it.
