Comments
- Delightful vignettes of British eccentricity and humour, skilfully put together
- This sort of thing makes me delight in being British – but then I am in a Morris side!
- Great – it was too short!
- A fun little film about rituals that may have seemed peculiar to outsiders
- Enjoyable ‘slice of life’ in England (as it was)
- Amusing and interesting view of what looked the ’70s
- Rather patronising interviewer
- A load of old ‘bull’ but a cartload of fun!
- Not all a load of ‘bull’
