Simon, Simon
Two handymen (Graham Stark and John Junkin) cause chaos on a new crane whilst haphazardly trying to accomplish jobs for their ever more frustrated boss. This 'silent' comedy features a host of cameos from the likes of Peter Sellers, Michael Caine, Bob Monkhouse, Eric Morecambe and Ernie Wise...

Watched them make a lot of this short and managed to get my bike in a couple of scenes. It was filmed in the then unused fire station on Holtswight Hill in Enfield just before they turned it into a British Legion Club which it still is.

I'm pleased to hear that this is on release - highly recommended to those yet to see it. A good one for car spotters too - I seem to remember the scene with Peter Sellers behind the wheel of a Lamborghini Muira.

Last time I saw it was 1993/4 when it was screened at some unearthly hour one weekend. I was an impoverished student back then and unable to afford a video recorder, I resorted sitting up half the night in a dimly lit room with a flask of hot tea waiting for it to start.

It was well worth the wait.
