Synopsis
Although the plot
is practically non-existent, you have Sir Simon DeMontford inspecting
the kingdom’s castles with Barbara Windsor’s male
character captive in
tow. The dialogue is competent at best and the historic details s
ketchy
to say the least, but the show is pleasing to watch; full of choice star
turns from the Carry On clowns that are dripping with wonderfully bad
one-liners and stunned facial expressions.
Dave Freeman, the writer, has Barbara Windsor masquerading as a male
character yet again, as he does in many of the TV episodes, this time as
a French nobleman. But saying that, it does provide a great moment of
visual comedy when a bee gets down her armour.
Sid gets all the choice lines, playing it all confident chuckles and
weary bemusement. Clad in a huge red hat and bedraggled nobleman’s
clothes, Sid ambles throughout the action, what little there is, with
great double entendres and comic put-downs. Sid even joins in at the end
for a brief rendition of Greensleeves.
