Confessions of a Plumber's Mate

Product Information

Edited for Syndication: When aired on Talking Pictures in 2023, Holiday Camp saw many racist jokes cut as the channel was already on thin ice for racial content. Nothing is going to keep Timmy’s Mum (Doris Hare), Dad (Bill Maynard) and sister Rosie (Sheila White) from a free holiday at the camp. Confessions from a Holiday Camp has the honour of being possibly the only soft porn movie to star John Junkin AND have a theme tune by The Wurzels (Give Me England) . So, porn with a touch of humour, you might say . . . and without a touch of porn. While executive producer Norman Cohen directed the final three films, he was also originally supposed to direct Window Cleaner but stepped aside in favor of Val Guest. Guest was supposed to return for Pop Performer but didn't due to concerns from his wife about him being on set with various naked women.

Are you intimidated?” asks the ferocious Matron. “I don’t think so, but I’ve had a flu jab!” Rosie replies.Force 10 From Navarone (1978) This routine (albeit much belated) sequel to The Guns Of Navarone (1961) has British commandos Mallory (now played by Robert Shaw in… Upon it’s release North America in 1978 the film was entitled Confessions of a Summer Camp Counsellor. Even some of the corny jokes are well below the quality threshold we expected from the finest British sex comedies. For pretty blonde-haired Ash, the role was gold dust and the trade papers spoke of her becoming ‘the next big thing’. Sadly it wasn’t to be. Her fame was eventually eclipsed by her sister Leslie, who incidentally took a small supporting role, with uncharacteristic brown hair, in Rosie Dixon. Timmy and Glad are so noisy in their passion that they wake Sid in the chalet next door, and he angrily gets out of bed to peer through Timmy’s window.

In August 1977 Belling told Screen International; “I’ve seen a lot of 18-year-old scrubbers in the last 18 months, but when we found Debbie Ash we knew she was right!”. Irish director Norman Cohen, who handled three of the quartet (Val Guest made the original Confessions of a Window Cleaner), also made the movie versions of Till Death Us Do Part and Dad’s Army. The sight of him rolling around in an electric wheelchair, pinching bums and leering his way through his final performance as a hospital patient is almost painful, not to mention somewhat ironic, considering Askey had both legs amputated shortly after the film was made. He escapes into the camp announcer’s room, and – needless to say – the announcer (Kim Hardy) is a very shapely girl who is just dying for some attention. Timmy is happy to oblige, unaware that the sound effects of their love-making are being broadcast throughout the camp. The tone is set by the opening shots of a rain-swept Havant railway station, and the main narrative unfolds in a grey Hayling Island.Carry On Up The Khyber (1968) In India, Private Jimmy Widdle (Charles Hawtrey) is discovered wearing underpants under his kilt, shattering the myth of Scottish invincibility… This is great fun until the arrival of a new manager, Mr Whitemonk. He decides to change the bad habits and in doing so turns their lives into hell. That is until somebody has a rather good idea. Plumbing seems an agreeable enough occupation for Sid South (Christopher Neil) whose job offers him ample opportunity to bed a variety of nubile girls. Same Time Next Year (1978) In 1951, at the Sea Shadows Inn on the Mendocino County coast, Doris (Ellen Burstyn), a 24-year-old housewife from Oakland, meets… Confessions Of A Pop Performer (1975) Confessions of a Window Cleaner had only been on release for two months when Columbia Pictures demanded a sequel of initially…
