I wonder how many people went to that movie and we're disappointed that it wasn't about Flo.

nb to most of the world: andrew's three excellent contributions are all big-screen spinoffs of 1970s UK TV sitcoms

hahaha, on George & Mildred:
Released [weeks] after the death of star Yootha Joyce, the film was neither a commercial nor a critical success. One critic has described the film as "one of the worst films ever made in Britain . . . so strikingly bad, it seems to have been assembled with a genuine contempt for its audience." A writer for The Guardian stated that the film's failure marked "the death knell" for the 1970s British practice of producing motion picture spinoffs based on sitcoms. The film aired on television on Christmas Day 1980, only a couple of months after its theatrical release.

love how every name on that poster is presumably a household name in britain but to american eyes appears to be the work of a hack comic generating fake british names

they were sort-of household names from appearing in the popular sitcom of the same name, which has probably been rescreened 923x more often in the US than the UK over the last 45 years

Yeah, Are You Being Served ran on Houston PBS regularly for like 20 years. For awhile in the '90s it was on five nights a week!

I was just trying to think of what someone in the states would know them from aside from AYBS, and...
All I got is Nicholas Smith voicing the vicar in the Wallace & Gromit movie, and Frank Thornton is in Richard Lester's It's Trad, Dad for about 30 seconds...which reminds me that Wendy Richard got cut out of Help!
