Given the comedy talent here things should be better. However it is useful to see early work by Johnny Speight and Nicholas Parson's straight man. Arthur Haynes has two main characters, the tramp and the effeminate tailor. The sketches are studio bound with sets that make Crossroads solid by comparison. Quite how Aileen Cochrane got a gig by any other means than sleeping with Val Parnell is beyond me. Good support in the comedy from Leslie Noyes, later to be seen in Dad's army in the rear ranks.
