The Plank 1979 Part 2 of 2

This is a pantomime about two construction workers, who discover that a plank is missing from the floor they are just building. They discover that two children have taken the plank and use it for a seesaw. Instead of taking it back, they decide to go and buy a new one. However, this may not have been a very good idea, for all the troubles and problems they encounter, just by buying a plank, are countless.
Starring: Eric Sykes, Arthur Lowe .
Director: Eric Sykes

Great fun and great Britsh celebrities taking part. Sikes did an earlier version in 1967 with Tommy Cooper as his side kick, also on KZbin. Not forgeting his undrtaker one "Mr. H is late" a must see on here. Thanks for sharing.

[@antoinetteparry7667]

No question, one of funniest works ever written with all the comedians in Britain.

[@sharonellis8776]

This is the best version of this movie. it is brilliant, simple comedy gold. xx

[@stewartwebb5699]

This is brilliant, spot the star! Thank you so much!

[@rolandcolyer5199]

I'd forgotten how many celebrities had cameo appearances in this superb British comedy. A delight to watch it again; thanks for the memory!😀Guy.

[@erikab7040]

The Best Comedy The Plank 😀😀😀😀

[@barbarastepien-foad4519]

Hate to say this but there's is nothing comparable in British comedy these days, nothing makes me belly laugh like this, the old stuff.

[@GUNNERSIGHTZEROED]

I’m old enough to remember this all those years ago. Great British Comedy. Where has it all gone? Halcyon days! Couldn't do this today there would be some group complaining about it in some form or another.

[@mrsblobbielife4842]

do you remember , RHUBARB ? another classic and FUTTOCKS END ? :)

[@GUNNERSIGHTZEROED]

@@mrsblobbielife4842 I am older than that...hahaha

[@joeking1019]

Great bunch of comedy actors from the sixties, thanks for sharing

[@leechilds3725]

Great 👍 really enjoyed it especially seeing Harry h corbet & other celebrities 😀

[@holdyourplums4204]

Thank you SO much for uploading this film. What a fantastic piece of mime & slapstick...!!! Just perfect. :-)

[@johnmurphy9253]

Short but sweet. Comedy at its purest best. Only the British could produce this.

[@MarkHenstridge]

I haven't seen this for years and years and as I have said before and I say it again no one does comedy better than the poms, thanks for uploading "The Plank"

[@bbrinkw]

Comedy Gold, so funny. Jimmy Edwards on his bicycle cracks me up. The BBC had no idea what a genius you were, Eric. Thought your autobiography was a tremendous, too. Cheers.

[@davidrobinson8224]

Also in Rhubarb Rhubarb another great little piece

[@harryoakley]

Obviously an all star cast - I recognized Diana Dors, Brian Murphy, Bernard Cribbins;, Frankie Howerd, Wilfred Hyde-White, Henry Cooper, Joanna Lumley, Harry Corbett, Lionel Blair, James Hunt, Reg Varney, and Frank Windsor.

[@vincentharriman3283]

Harry H Corbett. He added the H to distinguish himself from Harry Corbett of Sooty fame.

[@peterdavy6110]

I never knew there were 2 versions. I saw both as a child and could never understand why I remembered different actors in some roles when I saw it again on KZbin.

[@davidrobinson8224]

This one is by far the better of the two.

[@zbigniewkonopka3640]

Great ♥️

[@hartleychapman3982]

Fantastic.

[@davidbrown6888]

Hahaha oh I wish I could really see all this happening in real life today 😂

[@peterschwenke4807]

What a lineup of English talent.Very funny movie

[@kennethandersson4325]

Love this. Make me happy.😄❤👍

[@BritishComedyUK69]

Great Memories!! x

[@jabbokrajewski1480]

So funny thank you for videos

[@kaylyn69]

All the classic comedians of the day, before Mr Bean.... this was the silent comedy :)

[@Poshypaws]

RMC 667E ....hahaha...little tribute to Version One!

[@kenrandall4494]

British comedy at its finest 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

[@lilpavman100]

thank you for all this goodnessss they are shur a silly 2

[@vincentharriman3283]

Note that Jimmy Edwards was the only one I think from the original 1967 version (besides Eric Sykes). Jimmy played a policeman in both although he has been promoted in this one.

[@webhead66]

Malthouse Passage?

[@muhammadadeel5558]

Mashallah bahut acchi Ho

[@alanmcdonald4423]

It always amazes me that somebody thinks they can do better than the original. The remake of this fell far short. Why do they do it?

[@lucymacnab2035]

Alan McDonald 0

[@mrceq]

James Hunt!!!

[@animaltvi9515]

Why was Brian Johnson from acdc driving the transit luton

[@mickelderfield5965]

The Plank MK2. But why?.

[@catherinemassey2834]

To say it looks like a college media production, with all these stars how many millions was the budget

[@GUNNERSIGHTZEROED]

2 bob, a beer and a packet of Park Drive. That was the Budget..., hahaha

[@davidrobinson8224]

Probably not much as I would suggest that the stars that were in it did it mainly for the fun. They all probably had a darn good laugh at the end result, just like the rest of us.

[@ReRey]

Neve Copy ‼️

[@TheFokker03]

good,but i still prefer the original with Tommy Cooper.

[@davidrobinson8224]

For me Tommy Cooper was better in "It's Your Move". Another classic.

[@zqjzqjzqjzqj]

Better with Tommy Cooper though.

[@peterdavy6110]

Agreed.

[@TheFokker03]

yeah,me too.glad they kept a few from the original,Eric apart.i recall,both Jimmy Edwards & Kenny Lynch from the first take.

[@StFidjnr]

11:45 how it's going

[@user-rj6uk9cy3h]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@kennethsumner819]

Just like the uk police
