I can remember


I remember back in the 1970s, it was voted the greatest comedy of all time.
They do not make stuff like this now. Clean innocent fun.

I watched it this afternoon for the first time and enjoyed it very much. Is it safe to say that the series Oh, Doctor Beeching was inspired by this movie ?

reply

Don't swear! Whilst I admire Croft and Perry for bringing us Dad's Army, all of their other popular shows (Hi-de-hi, Aint Half Hot Mum, Are you being Served) were mediocre to the extreme. To even mention the pile of dross that was Oh, Doctor Beeching in the same breath as this Will Hay classic makes me want to run off and cry. Seriously, whilst they are both about stations, it's like saying Paris Hilton's "Pledge This!" was inspired by the works of the Bronte sisters!

Oh! Mr Porter = classic 10/10
Oh, Doctor Beeching = mediocre 5/10
