Plot SynopsisIt’s Your Move was Eric Sykes third almost dialogue-free remake of one of his earlier 1960s short films for Thames Television; following on from The Plank (1979) and Rhubarb Rhubarb (1980). The plot centres on a gang of inept removal men creating havoc when a married couple move into their first home. Richard Briers and Sylvia Syms move into their new detached suburban London home with the assistance of Bumsteads incompetent removal men; namely Eric Sykes, Tommy Cooper, Bob Todd, Noel Murphy and Johnny Vyvyan. All the chaos is overseen by policeman on the beat Jimmy Edwards, neighbour Bernard Cribbins and grand old lady Irene Handle in her chauffeur-driven Mini. |
