	In 2021 a remastered edition of the film, together with Kellett's 2006 commentary and an 11-minute home movie edition, was released on the [[Blu-ray]] anthology ''Futtocks End and Other Short Stories''. The "other short stories" referred to in the title are three other short films produced by Kellett: ''[[San Ferry Ann]]'', ''[[A Home of Your Own]]'' (which also co-starred Barker, and is cited in Kellettt's commentary as an inspiration for ''Futtocks End''), and ''Vive le Sport''.

'''''Futtocks End''''' is a British comedy [[film]] released in 1970, directed by [[Bob Kellett]] and written by [[Ronnie Barker]]. Almost entirely without dialogue, the film includes a musical score, sound effects and incoherent mutterings. The story revolves around a weekend gathering at the decaying country home of the eccentric and lewd Sir Giles Futtock ([[Ronnie Barker]]) and the series of saucy mishaps between the staff and his guests.

==Production and reception==
It was filmed at [[Grim's Dyke]], the former home of [[W. S. Gilbert]], now a hotel.

In 1979 the film was infamously shown, with no prior announcement or explanation, by the [[BBC]] in the middle of that year's ''[[Miss World 1979|Miss World]]'' broadcast. The programme had in fact been affected by industrial action by sound engineers. Writing in ''[[The Observer]]'', [[Clive James]] likened it to being "given a lolly to suck".<ref>James, Clive (1981) ''The Crystal Bucket'', Pan Macmillan, p.233</ref>

The film was released on DVD in June 2006 together with an audio commentary by the producer-director Bob Kellett. It was shown in [[Trafalgar Square]] as part of the 2007 [[St George's Day]] celebrations.

In 2021 a remastered edition of the film, together with Kellett's 2006 commentary and an 11-minute home movie edition, was released on the [[Blu-ray]] anthology ''Futtocks End and Other Short Stories''. The "other short stories" referred to in the title are three other short films produced by Kellett: ''[[San Ferry Ann]]'', ''[[A Home of Your Own]]'' (which also co-starred Barker, and is cited in Kellettt's commentary as an inspiration for ''Futtocks End''), and ''Vive le Sport''.

The complete script appears in ''All I Ever Wrote'' by Ronnie Barker, as well as ''Fork Handles: The Bery Vest of Ronnie Barker'' ([[Ebury Press]], 2013). The script contains some differences from the finished film. As Kellett explains in his commentary, dialogue during the establishing scenes was dropped in favour of an entirely wordless approach. A garden fête scene later in the script was omitted for budgetary reasons.
