Stanley Baxter is fondly remembered for his risque humour and his wickedly funny impressions. This release features both The Stanley Baxter Picture Show and The Stanley Baxter series.# The Stanley Baxter Picture Show: This four-show series had the audiences roaring with laughter at wicked impersonations such as 'Malcolm Gibberidge talking to Ethel Herman' 'John Bitumen's Britain' and 'Ken Rissole's The Musex Lovers'. The Stanley Baxter Series: Taking a break from his successful run of 'specials' Stanley once again delved into the half-hour format. This six-show series gave us such gems as 'The Antique People Show' 'the DAFTA Awards' a spoof on holiday programmes and 'Babes in Balham'.
This second series finds Cockney model Lorraine with fading prospects of Tory MP Charles ever proposing marriage - particularly with his aristocratic fiance Sybilla (Patricia Hodge) still very much on the scene. So, displaying a greater spirit of independence, she decides to move far enough out of town to avoid being always at Charles' beck and call; a little reminder that she's still a free agent.
Class distinction exists in most countries but that has never stopped Cinderella from meeting her Prince. The universal appeal of rich-man-falling-for-working-class-girl is the theme of this hit comedy series starring Lorraine Chase and John Standing - leads whose own backgrounds mirror those of their characters. The Other 'Arf was conceived by Terence Howard (who had worked on the celebrated Campari ad campaign which launched the TV career of model Lorraine Chase) and developed by legendary comedy writers Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais (Porridge Auf Wiedersehen Pet); originally screened in 1980 this first series also stars Patricia Hodge Natalie Forbes and in an early TV appearance Caroline Quentin. Sir Galahad comes in many guises and in the case of beautiful model Lorraine Watts he's in the form of Charles Latimer a Tory MP who saves her from the unwelcome attentions of a lecherous photographer. While Charles is an aristocrat and Lorraine is a Cockney born and bred the difference in their social stations fails to put the brake on their express dash into romance... although it promises to be a bumpy journey!
