  • 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

    I don't know how many times I've seen this over my life but I love it every time. An all-star cast brilliantly done.

    This show proves one you don’t have to say anything to be funny. The old saying is true. Their actions spoke louder than words.
    The older British shows proved that time and time again.

      Yes it is. There is another with some of the original actors in but it was made later and people actually spoke in it. The beauty of this film as that not one word is spoken yet it is still hilariously funny!

      @@stephenclayforth7649 Interesting - I didn't know there was a later "talkie" one . The estate being built is one by Davis Estates. A mate of mine worked for them as foreman, we're both (retired) tradesmen. Some of the real things that went on would make good comedy- back in the 70's . Nowadays you cant do anything untoward due to H+S . My son's a plasterer and he tells me how it is on site now. Good in some ways but the "craic" is long gone.

      @Stephen Clayforth Good Lord I find it depressing that you have heard of "The Plank" and yet your Dunning-Kruger tells you this is the original?!?!
      This is a REMAKE from 1979 for ITV complete with canned laughter. Right, Geoff?
      The ORIGINAL was from 1967. The story is similar and there are a few cast members in both but the original is far superior in many respects.
      It was written and directed by Sykes who was even at that time hard of hearing and wanted a more visual style of comedy. His co-star was Tommy Cooper and there is a who's who of comedy and drama actors in it (wiki for the full list).
      This shadow (sorry, Eric) is two thirds the length and cuts many jokes to make it fit an ITV slot.
      There was never a third version. Maybe you're thinking about "Rhubarb, rhubarb"? Whatever, please keep your ill informed comments away from RUclips.
      Charlie Drake was not in the original. Roy Castle took that part originally.

      You can laugh but it may lead to allegations of a hate crime. In which case you will be tried by a left wing judge & a jury of your peers, none of whom will be white.
