There's some real rib ticklers in this farcical little piece. Fast paced hijinx with subtle wit and humour that is always the hallmark of good British theatre comedy. (cheers for the upload)

"Absolutely tip top" - thank you - most enjoyable. I feel my English prowess has improved a notch or two..... of course it may be at the detriment of my being understood in today's environment 😂😂😂
Tremendous fun . A hefty dose of good old eccentric British nonsense . The general deitics (time-place-people-space) here combined with good confident writing and acting mark this little gem above "typical of the genre" status . I heard it before , enjoyed it equally now ; and , will prob listen again sometime ~ Recommended*
@@adebinelli8182 Well good ; and , thanku Ade ~ having not recognized the title , I was delighted to've stumbled across it again . Have you watched "The Shooting Party" ? It's an omeleto comedy short on TH-cam , nothing like this , at all , but very very good . It's only about 12 mins long so easily absorbed*

What-Ho old chap nicely put....
Simply ripping! I went to an all Gel's school........
Great stuff love the film and this just as good
Oh Alister Simms and Margaret Rutherford! Definitely happiest!
not in this,
I love listening to this over and over. Margot Boyd is fantastic. First heard it as a teenager in 1979.
I think that was when I recorded it off the radio...
Such fun!
Remember a film version of this play with Aleister Sims.
And Margaret Rutherford and Joyce Grenfell! A wonderful fun😁
