Things pick up when some guests appear near the end (Spike steals the film right there just by dint of his presence cough) but it's too little too late. Not as outright silly as The George & Mildred Movie in fact. Next!!! |
The George and Mildred Movie,is pretty poor in comparison,but does have a cracking joke when George goes over to the juke box in the cafe...
Mildred Roper : Obviously, our wedding anniversary means nothing to you anymore.
George Roper : Of course it does, of course it does. And what's more I'll prove it to you.
Mildred Roper : How?
George Roper : By seeing if they've got our tune.
Mildred Roper : [gesturing towards the jukebox] What, on that thing?
George Roper : Yeah. Well, they might have a punk version by the Sox Pistols.
Mildred Roper : The who?
George Roper : Yeah, or even them
