    • Quotes

      Doctor: I take it he didn't get to the pudding?

      Ingrid: No, he didn't get that far.

      Doctor: Pitty. I like something that's rather sweet.

      Ingrid: I'm sure you do.

      Doctor: Perhaps I'd better take a look at it?

    • Crazy credits
      Felicity Devonshire tops the cast list during the end credits, but instead of receiving a written character description, she is represented by a drawing of how she appears in the film.

    A feature film sketch comedy, a genre they don't make anymore.
    I'm a fan of Leslie Phillips, one of the all-time funniest British actors in UK history. The geniuses in Hollywood never utilized his talent, so screw them, I say. This is the second film he appeared in with the exquisite Julie Ege of Norway, a one time Hammer starlet in Creatures The World Forget. The underground segment with Harry Corbett is more noteworthy and sad than humorous.
