Film
In 1972, the sitcom was adapted into a film version by Hammer Films. The plot concerns a rival undertaker's firm being used as a front for drug smuggling. Directed by John Robins, as well as the usual cast it featured numerous well known actors such as Roy Kinnear, Dennis Price, Sue Lloyd, Richard Wattis, John Ronane and Frank Thornton. However, the film performed poorly at the box office.
