'''''Dentist on the Job''''' is a 1961 British comedy film directed by [[C. M. Pennington-Richards]], the sequel to ''[[Dentist in the Chair]]'' (1960). It was released in the US with the title '''''Get On with It!'''''. The film was co-written by Hugh Woodhouse and [[Hazel Adair (actress and screenwriter)|Hazel Adair]]. It stars [[Bob Monkhouse]], [[Kenneth Connor]], [[Ronnie Stevens (actor)|Ronnie Stevens]] and [[Eric Barker]] repeating their roles from the previous film. Other actors appearing in the film include [[Shirley Eaton]], [[Richard Wattis]] and [[Charles Hawtrey (actor, born 1914)|Charles Hawtrey]]. Monkhouse, Eaton, Connor, Barker and Hawtrey had all previously acted together in unrelated 1958 comedy ''[[Carry On Sergeant]]''.

==Plot==
Colonel Proudfoot of Proudfoot Industries aims to entice a couple of dentists to advertise "Dreem", a revolutionary type of toothpaste, but he knows that if the dentists learn that they are part of an advertising campaign, they will be [[struck off]]. His cousin, the director of a Dental School (also Barker), sees his chance to rid the field of dentistry of two newly qualified incompetents David Cookson and Brian Dexter. However, once employed by Proudfoot, they set about improving on Dreem's terrible formula, and accidentally succeed in creating a much better toothpaste. Their attempts to convince Proudfoot of its merits are foiled by Proudfoot's assistant, Macreedy.

They then read a newspaper article about the forthcoming launch of a rocket from a British base carrying a satellite which will continuously broadcast a taped message of peace from the [[President of the United States]], and conceive a plan. They record an impromptu commercial for the new formula Dreem and, with the help of an ex-convict friend Sam Field and actress Jill Venner, manage to smuggle it aboard the rocket in place of the President's speech, guaranteeing Proudfoot years of free advertising. The resulting publicity ensures the product's success and the pair are promoted.

==Legacy==
The studio logos, opening credits and a brief portion of the opening scene is added to the start of ''[[Monty Python and the Holy Grail]]'' on its special edition DVD. The clip ends with a spluttering, unseen "projectionist" realising he has played the wrong film. A "slide" then appears urging the audience to wait one moment please while the operator changes reels.<ref>[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail ''TVTropes.org''].
