yes, he stands on a rake...

Warning: Spoilers
John has been happily involved in a bigamous marriage for five years. He lives with Stephanie in Finsbury and Michelle in Stockwell.

He's a taxi driver which involves shift work. John unwittingly becomes a hero and the Finsbury and Stockwell police forces discover something suspicious in their paperwork.

During the next 24 hours John, with the help of his neighbour Gary, rush between the two marital homes attempting to evade the police and prevent the two loving wives coming face to face.....

Yes, the movie is bad, really bad, and the acting is pretty ropey, but this film has to be seen for it's sheer bawdiness.

First off, the film is at least thirty years out of date, and you could imagine Sid James and Reg Varney in key roles.

Dyer looks pretty uncomfortable in his range, because he isn't a wide boy in this, and never utters an expletive over the odd mild swear word.

The humour consists of jokes that would make a Pier comedian cringe, Dyer standing on a rake, and Morrisey sitting on a cake.

The best thing about this mess, is the cast.

It literally has dozens of cameos, from Judi Dench, to Cliff Richard.

So all in all, it's a terrible mess, but if you were fond of generic sitcoms from the late seventies and early eighties, you may appreciate it in the way I did.
