Look, it's not really that bad...,

This review is from: Confessions Of (Box Set) [DVD] (DVD)
If you were a teenage boy in the UK during the early 70's - as I was myself - then this box set will bring back memories of a type of girl now extinct both on TV and in the movies. Of course it lacks the wit and sophistication of Benny Hill but then you cannot have everything.cannot be faulted on price. The transfers to DVD are clear, sharp and detailed. There are no extra's but then if there was I feel it would detract from the tackiness of the movies. No, file this under 'Happy Days' and look kindly on the follies of your youth...

Let's be honest these were a product of their times.
Robin Askwith WAS Timmy Lea, a cheeky chap with an eye for the birds, it has to be seen in the light of the 1970's when sex was seen as a bit of a larf. The movies are self explanatory, Timmy starts a new job with his brother-in-law Sid Noggett, chaos ensues and women start to lose their clothing as Timmy gets another notch on his bedpost. It is harmless knockabout stuff full of knock-knock style jokes that have long past their time. They are the cinema equivalent of naughty sea-side postcards. Watch Jill Gascoine, Linda Bellingham, and many others who did not quite reach household fame disrobe in a series of nudge-nudge,wink-wink episodes. It's not PC these days to like these movies. I saw them when they were first released and appreciate them better for that. They deserve a new audience as both a historic movie novelty and as good fun. Warning - not to be watched by anyone who thinks My Family is risque.

They donot make them like this anymore,

This review is from: Confessions Of (Box Set) [DVD] (DVD)
This is classic comedy at its very best with Robin Asquith and Anthony Booth(Tony Blairs uncle)in all kinds of adult Carry On humour.
Prabably the best is Window cleaner but Driving Instructor is really entertaining aswell. With political correctness gone mad we shall never see the likes of this again,it was a very seventies thing with other series such as Love Thy Neighbour which were huge hits but wouldnot be allowed today. For those who were too young to remember these films they follow the exploits of Asquith with his bawdy conquests of all the glamourous housewifes in the neighbourhood.Think of an adult version of the Carry on series an you will have the basic idea. At just under five pounds a disc this is superb value and for some lite entertainment you cannot beat a bit of TIMOTHY LEA. To think that these films when they first appeard in the cinema were bigger than James Bond in popularity shows how good they were and still are.
