Quite right Boingy about this latest break. Way too many of them for my liking.

Thanks for posting that Phil. I'd forgotten that film was due out any time soon. I remember my uncle telling me he saw them at Dudley Hippodrome which I assume would have been that tour. He said him and his mates had a drink in the pub over the road (The Station Hotel I think?) He said L&H were having a drink and chatting to show goers. As they left they made a point of doing that gag which they did many times in films where one opens the door and the other goes outside having lost the other. How times change eh?
