Based on the ""classic spy thriller of the 20th century"" that historians hail as the ""tip-off"" that saved Britain from invasion. Two sailboating Englishmen discover a massive German fleet secretly preparing to attack their nation and set out to do something about it not only do they have to thwart the German Navy but Kaiser Wilhelm himself.
In this hilarious programme we revisit some of Sid James' funniest moments from an illustrious career that has made him one of Britain's best loved comedy heroes. Laugh again at some of the best sketches ever written for film and television and a few that may have escaped you from his earlier career. In addition to archive interviews with Mr James himself we also hear the first hand reflections of his long term partners Diana Coupland and Jack Douglas and others he starred with such as Olga Lowe Bill Roberton who all pay tribute to the comic genius that was Sid James. Although sadly missed Sid James will continue to entertain us on TV screens for years to come via the comic legacy that is the classic series of 'Carry On' films 'Bless This House' 'Citizen James' 'Hancock's Half Hour' and much more.
