Reception
The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "Desperately unfunny programme filler, unaccountably revived after ten years on the shelf. The 'humour' is largely a matter of telegraphed sight gags (sample: a runaway milk float is labelled 'U.D.D.A. Dairies'); cast mug, grimace and generally look uncomfortable."[2]
