The Trooper's Revenge.

My post on Rutland Weekend Television sent Trooper Thompson scouring YouTube for others.

He has exacted a terrible revenge by posting part one of 'Dead of Night'. The swine ensnared me good and proper. I've just watched the whole thing again.

It is a good film though.

UPDATE: Watch the film. Everyone smokes. Everyone. Nobody coughs. Nobody runs away screaming. Those who die, don't die of smoking. Interesting, eh?

Michael Palin, if my memory serves me right, smokes in the dead parrot sketch but then they could claim that the smoking is the reason behind the death of the parrot.

Mr A - that's the film. Bad guys don't smoke.

Cynarae - you're right, he's smoking when John Cleese comes in.

... and I bet nobody noticed at the time.

I didn't notice at first. I think it was the restaurant scene in the 'mirror' story that clicked it for me. They didn't get thrown out for smoking and nobody even looked in their direction.

Amazon UK have it on DVD for a fiver. I've just ordered a copy.
