Reviews

Overall: 4.00

The Times (11Jan01): Leslie Phillips cuts a dapper, natty figure from his rusty moustache through his loud yellow and orange tie to his fawn shoes. It is still a delight to watch this preposterous character steer us through 60 years of glorious professional inertia and heroic idleness. 4
