I have always wondered why they made (at leat) two versions of it. There
is another starring Tommy Cooper.

IIRC the original was longer and a cinema release. The second one
(linked to here) was made for television 10+ years later to be shorter
and feature faces known to TV viewers then.

With a lot of these old films the clothing and the streetscape/landscape
and how things have altered is of as much interest as their subject, much
of the material shown on the Talking Pictures TV channel is mundane in
itself but as a social record the whole is interesting.

Some places have changed more than others. In the Plank the main road where
the Police station was hasnt changed too much.

https://goo.gl/maps/KnPx3NoMtgYdPpuw6

Barnes Bridge is easily recognisable as a landmark as it is seen by the
many viewers of the boat race
though I knew it as part of a walk I used to be taken on when I was around
5 .Mum still gets embarrassed when we recollect what I suddenly to do
circa 1959, if you were rowing under that bridge then that precipitation
you felt wasnt rain.

I suspect the woodyard may have long been built on though.
Might have a another look at the maps later.

We had one little kid of about that age do that right at the
automatic opening doors of one of the main supermarkets
in town, right next to the manned checkouts, ****ing just
outside the door, right in front of everyone. Roughly in 2000.

I had a thought about an old film which was about using a plank with hole(s) cut in it to form toilet seat(s). From memory the piece de resistance was an 18 hole model made for a school outhouse.
I thought it was called something like the specialist but Google doesn't help.

You must be thinking of the short film The Specialist (1966), based on
the book of the same name:

I have been trying to remember the name of a film, probably from the 1960s (I saw it between 1967 and 1973), which was about building a new estate of what might now be called social housing. Almost at the end, the letter-cutters finished the stone at the entrance - "This estate was built with the help of pubic donation". Gas, electricity and water came out of the wrong orifices, etc. I think it was a modest legnth full film (rather than a short film).

Anyone recognise it from my description?
