I'll admit it, I'm a sucker for Sidney James. I'd love to be able to imitate his gravelly laugh to perfection, and who wouldn't have enjoyed a night out with this ultimate "man's man"? To me, Sid was the ultimate icon of this long-running, still popular series, and this is one of the shining examples. The film is littered with so many treasurable moments and groan-out-loud gags, such as the supper club called 'The Whippet Inn', the scene in the cinema as a supposedly 'educational' porno flick unfolds before Bernard Bresslaw's disbelieving eyes, the way King Sid clears the table in his ramshackle house (you *have* to see this for yourself!), the infectiously bawdy and boozy day trip to Brighton...there's just so much to enjoy, and you'll want to watch it again and again. The whole cast are on top form, and I can't help thinking that Michael Palin must have based his 'Ancient Prisoner' character from LIFE OF BRIAN ("Proper little jailer's pet!") on Kenneth Cope's brilliant portrayal of the bolshy little union man!Most memorable line (that makes more sense in context)..."Down with 'em!"
