Old British film studio comedies

[JohnnyDee]

I've always been a massive fan of this genre of film, ever since when as a youngster I would watch them on telly along with my Dad who loved them.

I'm talking about Ealing Studios and stuff like Whisky Galore, Passport to Pimlico and Oh Mr Porter etc.

Here's a typical slice of the kind of thing I mean.

I grew up with these being on in school holidays, repeats not the originals. I used to love the old George Formby, Norman Wisdom, Doctor in the House, Carry On films. Great stuff, very British.

Watched 'The Titfield Thunderbolt' a few weeks ago. Great stuff.

A lot of the Carry On films (Nurse, Matron etc) were filmed at Heatherwood Hospital in Ascot. It's not had a lick of paint since and looks exactly as it does when the re-runs come on
