Look out for the very funny court scene, where TT makes three appearances on separate... charges before a bemused magistrate, John Le Mesurier. On the DVD: Too Many Crooks is in 4:3 ratio and has a mono soundtrack. The only extra feature is a trailer. More TT tomfoolery can be found in the three-disc Terry Thomas Collection. --Adrian Edwards [show more]

Fingers (George Cole) and his gang of crooks seem to be having a run of bad luck, as they keep botching one job after another.

Unfortunately, Billy is overjoyed to have his wife gone and makes no effort to pay the ransom, which makes Lucy mad and absolutely determined to have her revenge.
