I am sure someone can answer this. It was a typical 60's comedy film which had a scene where some of the characters were being assessed for possible employment by some kind of computer. They fed in the details and the computer spat out a card or something with the ideal job.

One of them came up as "bookies runner" and I remember me old dad laughing his head off.

Cheers

Ah Yes, the Soviet Union. All them wheatfields and ballet in the evenings

Just watched this one. It's "ROTTEN TO THE CORE" - Dudley Sutton's card goes in and his future employment potential comes up as "Bookie's Runner". James Beckett is next and his potential comes up as "NIL". Then Kenneth Griffith's card goes in and the computer blows up.

I'm giving away my age here, but I've always fancied Joan Sims over Liz Frazier, and even Barbara Windsor! If I remember rightly, Joan Sims was the sex interest in the earliest "Carry Ons" long before her title was usurped by the other two lasses!

Weeelll... I might reasses my choice in the case of Barbara Windsor...

Default Babs Windsor
Barbara Windsor never did anything for me, I think it was her accent, like running a cat down a razor blade. Joan Sims was more the quieter and more refind. But Liz Frazer, wow, very sexy indeed. I know someone somewhere put up some pics of Liz in all her finest lingerie from the Confessions films and does she look good or what? A stunner.

It wasn't Mr Muggiins. "Charlie Muggins" was played by Charles Hawtrey, in "Carry On Camping" (the chap who asked the girl where she was taking the cow, and, when questioned as to why her dad couldn't do it, she replied "Oh no, it has to be the bull!". The look on Mr Muggins' face was priceless!).

Sydney Bliss and his so-called wife, who turned out to be Miss Sophie Plummett, were trying to find a date for "Bertram Muffet" (played by Richard O'Callaghan), which Syd converted into Mr Muffin. (Shot full of inuendos). Chalres Hawtrey played the private eye, Mr Bedsop.
