Product Information

Confessions - Of A Pop Performer / From A Holiday Camp / Of A Window Cleaner / Of A Driving Instructor DVD But underneath the surface is pure gold – the result of Janice’s jailbird husband’s latest haul – and the new owner of the loo seat is Detective Inspector Wallings.

Confessions from a Holiday Camp has the honour of being possibly the only soft porn movie to star John Junkin AND have a theme tune by The Wurzels (Give Me England) . So, porn with a touch of humour, you might say . . . and without a touch of porn.Coming Home (1978) Coming Home is very much Jane Fonda's project. She commissioned Nancy Dowd to write a story about the impact of… I Wanna Hold Your Hand (1978) I Wanna Hold Your Hand is not a movie about The Beatles. It's a film about the fans and the… The tone is set by the opening shots of a rain-swept Havant railway station, and the main narrative unfolds in a grey Hayling Island. When production of Confessions of a Plumber’s Mate was cancelled, Rosie Dixon unknowingly marked Columbia Pictures’ last foray into British sex comedy. Edited for Syndication: When aired on Talking Pictures in 2023, Holiday Camp saw many racist jokes cut as the channel was already on thin ice for racial content.

The sight of him rolling around in an electric wheelchair, pinching bums and leering his way through his final performance as a hospital patient is almost painful, not to mention somewhat ironic, considering Askey had both legs amputated shortly after the film was made.The Night The Prowler (1978) This unusual Australian psychological drama stars Kerry Walker as Felicity Bannister, a lumpish, neurotic Sydney girl living with her middle-class… Filmed in the autumn of 1977, the movie was based on a novel by Christopher Wood – Confessions of a Night Nurse, published in 1974. Wood followed the character of naive suburban teenager Rosie over nine books between 1974 and 1977, casting her as an escort, a babysitter, riding mistress, barmaid and so on. Timmy and Glad are so noisy in their passion that they wake Sid in the chalet next door, and he angrily gets out of bed to peer through Timmy’s window. Long Shot (1978) Filmed around the 1977 Edinburgh Film Festival, Long Shot is a deadpan satire about the trials and tribulations of British…

Playing Against Type: Caroline Ellis (Glad in Holiday Camp) was best known for mostly playing innocent girls on children's TV and took the role to (unsuccessfully) break into more mature roles. Irish director Norman Cohen, who handled three of the quartet (Val Guest made the original Confessions of a Window Cleaner), also made the movie versions of Till Death Us Do Part and Dad’s Army. One of the girls, Brigitte (Linda Hayden), is a camp host and, therefore, ineligible for the contest, but she still has a very close relationship with Timmy. Eventually, the beauty contest gets underway, compered by host Roughage (Colin Crompton), but the whole event is ruined before it starts by young Kevin (Nicholas Owen), who starts a massive cake fight.Carry On Camping (1968) Carry On Camping has no plot to speak of - it is simply a collection of familiar eccentrics going on a… Adventures Of A Taxi Driver (1976) Girls and trouble are inseparable for young London taxi driver Joe North (a miscast Barry Evans) who uses his job…

Soft focus prettiness sits awkwardly alongside comedy capers with a skeleton, humping in hospital laundry baskets and patients mistakenly drinking urine samples. Eventually, the hippo explodes, hurling a naked Timmy into the swimming pool, where he is seen (but again not recognised) by Whitemonk. Inspired by primetime medical soap Dr Kildare, starry-eyed 18-year-old virgin Rosie Dixon (Ash) decides to become a nurse and enrols at nearby St Adelaide’s Hospital. The harsh reality of life on the wards is somewhat different from television, however, since the nurses are dominated by a tough, unfeeling Scottish Matron (Beryl Reid – wonderful as usual). Life is just a bowl of grapes for Timmy Lea (Robin Askwith) and his brother-in-law Sid (Anthony Booth) as they lie in the sun at the Funfrall Holiday Camp. As Entertainment Officers, their job is largely about keeping themselves entertained.

Linda Hayden played Timmy's fiancée in Confessions of a Window Cleaner and French co-worker, Brigitte in Confessions from a Holiday Camp, while Marianne Stone played a woman in the cinema in the former and a waitress in the latter. In no time at all, Dad has the widow and her fellow mourners singing along in a rousing chorus of My Old Man Said Follow The Van. The three mourners in Confessions from a Holiday Camp were all played by real-life siblings of Doris Hare. Carry On Girls (1973) Carry On Girls conjures up the ultimate in wet and windy, bored and mindless seaside communities, Fircombe. The ever-enterprising Sidney Fiddler… But they’re not long for the sweet life. The camp has been sold, and the new owner, William Whitemonk (John Junkin), is determined to run the place in his fashion – a fashion he practised for years as Chief Warder of Dartfleet Prison.
