Time, Gentlemen, Please

This is part of the Long Lost Comedy Classics box set released by Slam Dunk Media that contains six movies from the mostly forgotten Group 3 studio. The disc is not quite bare bones; it contains a stills gallery and adverts (not trailers) for other movies in the box (all the movies are available separately, too).

A village's smug Council is hoist on its own petard when they send the town's one and only well liked indigent to the village's alms (poor) house, as they're expecting a visit from the PM because of the village's 99.9% employment rate.

Gentle English farce made in the early Fifties. Chances are the only name you'd recognize is Sid James. Still plenty of echoes from WWII present. The arch narration at the beginning and end of the movie prove that irony was alive and well, well before the Nineties.
