British films

Saving Grace with Brenda Blethyn.

An ex boyfriend of mine was locations manager for that and had a fleeting part in it.

I love old black and white British films particularly the comedies, wish they showed them more.

I like some of the sitcom spin offs from the seventies that show you what life was like then. The Likely Lads one was on recently and it's interesting to see fashions like flared trousers and maxi dresses and Terry being excited about moving to a high rise flat with an inside toilet and a fitted kitchen.

And I’ve just come across Bag lady with Maureen lipman. 🥲

The early Carry Ons like Constable, Sergeant and Teacher were excellent as they were like a continuation of the Ealing comedies, but the later, seventies films were mostly dross and people lost interest in them. However, the franchise lasted for 21 years and there were massive queues whenever a new one was released in the fifties and sixties.
