B. worked their 'unlikely ladies double act' off perfectly, with Penelope's slightly snobbish employer of June's cleaner character. Recently widowed Margery Heywood ( Penelope Keith) and her cleaning woman Gladys Gladwell ( June Brown) disturb a would-be burglar breaking into Margery's house in Kent. Be sure to watch the closing credits where all the characters' stories are wrapped up in a series of post cards.

After a night on the town at nearby Blackpool, the two women take the boat and sail off to the Caribbean. If you enjoy the genre of the 'classic' British comedy that this movie definitely belongs to, you won't be disappointed.

Wealthy housewife Margery and her rough-diamond cleaner, Gladys, disturb a burglar, knock him unconscious in self-protection, then panic and leave him for dead. Their uneasy alliance is made uneasier when Margery learns that her late husband Eric had a 20-year affair with Gladys and the discovery profoundly affect Margery's son Graham.

Unfortunately, towards the end the dialogue gets all 'meaningful' in a manner more typical of American TV scripts.They prove to be more than a match for the unlikely pair of policemen, DI Woolley (Roger Lloyd Pack) and DS Stringer (Martin Freeman), who are left to solve the ladies disappearance and puzzling string of crimes which follow. This was in essence an hour long comedy, but as it was the humour becomes clichéd and the whole thing becomes laboured. The music includes two George Formby songs: "Leaning on a Lamp Post" and "My Little Stick of Blackpool Rock," which is a local hard candy.
