Having read most of the posts regarding the above film, i belive it was not a gaumont film but was made by 20 th century fox. Hence the possibility from being excluded from our televsion screens. I wonder?

The scene where they attempt to install the fireman's pole is one of the funniest ever shot. It is far better than the related use of a ladder to obstruct and damage traffic in JACK's the BOY or the use of the plank in the PLANK. But it's all a matter of taste, which we know, cannot be disputed.......(like hell it can't). Clara
