    I bought this cos I saw it on Channel 5 years ago, back when they still used to show softcore porn in the evenings. Digital and broadband internet really are a blessing.

    But anyhow, I thought I saw Felicity Kendal in one of the sex scenes. Yknow, Margo from the Good Life. It’s not her. It does look a bit like her. But it’s not her.

    Overall, not bad though. The protagonist, Jack the Lad Everyman or something, went to be in Coronation Street I think? And it’s got the dad out of My Family in it an all. Felicity would ave been better though eh.

    Okay, so this is no Carry On masterpiece, but it will certainly put a smile upon your face!

    Barry Evans stars in this ’saucy’ sex farce about a randy Taxi Driver, and the opening scene is suitably funny as we see Diana Dors playing the part of his mother marvellously! This is what made Dors so great – the contrast of parts she went on to play. It is hard to believe that just several years earlier, she was playing the ‘blonde bomb shell’ (‘Tread Softly Stranger’) and although she was still beautiful, was not afraid to don some theatre make up later on and play character roles.

    After the opening scene mentioned, this movie is a bit slow, but bear with it as it does get going, and it gets more amusing as the minutes pass! The best scenes by far being the one in the bathtub, and also the scene with the two nuns. Adrienne Posta (also Singer of the title song) is fabulously funny, is lively and entertaining (a great comedienne) playing the unfortunate girlfriend of this randy unfaithful character. ‘Blakey’ from ‘On The Buses’ also makes an amusing appearance.

    Also stars, Judy Geeson, Robert Lindsay, Brian Wilde and a very ‘randy’ snake!!

    TRIVIA: The opening credits to this movie slags Taxi Drivers something rotten as not caring. This is ironic, since Taxi Drivers were very responsible and reliable back then, but are infrequently so now…
