Sacked by the bus company, Stan and Jack get jobs as drivers at a holiday camp and arrange for the rest of the family to come and stay.
Blakey is there as a security guard and manages to get involved with the camp's nurse. The Butlers head for one disaster after another as Jack and Stan, take two girls for a bus trip on the sands only for the bus to sink in as the tide approaches.
Olive gets into bed with someone else's husband when she makes it back to the wrong chalet in the dark and Baby Arthur sprays the chalet with ink, requiring a re-painting job........70's hilarity ensues...
In the seventies it was the norm for studios to make motion pictures of very successful T.V comedies. Think of any, and I'm sure the show had a cinema release.
The only difference was that they always ended up on holiday, and thanks to the Carry On... series, added a little more smut and innuendo to the proceedings, normally a woman losing her top.
It's a very sexist film, all female characters here are either portrayed as objects of desire, or have no common sense at all. But it was the seventies, and it was the height of hilarity.
I could imagine a traditional husband and wife back in the seventies watching this saying to each other...
'She's just like you love, stupid'......
'Oh love it's true, we know nothing, I'll finish the washing up, make your lunch, and get your clothes out for tomorrow after I've seen this........Do you want another Stout'
'Shhhh love, I can't hear Bob Grant's derogatory comment to that stupid woman'
And this is literally the rest of the film. The two lads get up to some silly antics with lots of women, Blakey gets frustrated and gets caught in a compromising position by Henry Mcgee, the bloke from Benny Hill, and the Sugar Puffs advert.
But this was accepted for almost two decades after this on British T.V. Aside from Girls On Top and French And Saunders, sitcoms were just a family where the man was tearing his hair out because of his family, or was working for some business man and instantly had a crush on his daughter.
But we watched them, and we enjoyed them. Don't feel guilty for doing so. I knew exactly what I was expecting when I switched this on.
But this time, I wasn't laughing with Stan and jack, I was laughing about the audacity they had back then, and how they would cope in these times.
This should be used for Social Studies in the future, to let the next generation know what our parents thought was quality comedy.
It's not terrible by any means, It's just embarrassingly funny, for all the wrong reasons...
