Crime is rare in Little Botham, and authorities plan to close the station as an economy measure. Not wanting to lose their jobs, Ball and Cannon fabricate a phony crime wave to make it look as if they're needed after all.

Boys in Blue is a remake of Ask a Policeman, a 1938 vehicle for British comedy star Will Hay. ...The Boys in Blue

Loved this film. Its cheap and tacky with basic Cannon & Ball humour and is absolutely wonderful.
Excellent for those wet Sunday afternoons.

The Boys in Blue is a delightful remake of the old Will Hay classic "Ask a Policeman." I've never been a great fan of Cannon and Ball but I must say this is good clean fun. It's filled with the same old jokes from their live shows but nonetheless it works. I can think of nothing better to watch on a rainy Sunday afternoon and the kids will love it as well. Highly recommended.

Oh how we laughed (didn't we?)
I thought C&B were quite funny as a kid, but then I also liked Smash mash and popsocks so maybe I wasn't a great arbiter of taste. Read more

The Cannon & Ball Movie.
Basically a remake of Will Hey's "Ask A Policeman!"
Not a bad film. I appreciated it more now as it was a reminder of a slightly more innocent time in my life. Read more
