I might do a FYCW episode of The Plank some day, but if you haven't seen this movie before, I implore you to watch the original as it is vastly funnier than this version I have to confess.

I lived very close to the timber merchants location in Churchfield Road, Walton on Thames (it's still there) and during a break in filming I asked Arthur Lowe to autograph a Dad's Army annual for me, which he was happy to do. It's great to see all these comedy legends again, thanks for posting it.

I had the Great honour of being granted a 10 minute interview with Eric about 15 years ago. He was an absolute gentleman and talked for 50 minutes until his manager, Norma Farnes, had to practically drag him away for a public appearance. What a legend, and the world is a poorer place for his passing. RIP Eric, and all the other great stars in The Plank (both versions).

I can remember my Father laughing out loud to this wonderful comedy! Eric Sykes and Arthur Lowe , so brilliantly funny ! 💚🔨

British comedy at its best! I recall watching this in the 70’s and it is still my favourite.
-
Perfect comedy. Such an incredibly simple premise and no dialogue yet half an hour of great fun. And a soundtrack that fits the mood spot on.
-
This is so funny, I remember my parents talking about it, many years ago. It is so good to see all those great comedy actors again. They made me laugh during so many years. This gives me warm feelings again and a big smile on my face. Thanks for posting.

Fantastic to see all the old greats, just what we need in these awful times,

British comedy at it's finest. Even today it will still rival modern interpretations. Very well done. Kind regards.
-
Brilliant! It was great to see all those great stars who are sadly no longer with us. Diana Dors, Harry H Corbett and just about everyone in this little film. Classic!
-
Brilliant simply brilliant ....when comedy really was comedy - just watched 2 minutes of it and are roaring! Thank you for posting!

This aired EVERY New year's eve on Swedish television when I was a kid. This and Dinner for one (in Swedish it is called The Countess and the Servant) was apparently the most funny movies Swedish TV-directors could think of.
-
Amazing to see so many talented comedians together.
-
Stumbled upon this by chance today, absolute gold!! Have heard about it in my younger days but being born in the late 70s in India, had never had a chance to watch until today! Will surely be watching it a few times! Love it.

The Plank has got to be one of my favorite Eric Sykes shorts of all time.
-
I've not seen this slap stick comedy for years, so it is nice to come across it again for some giggles. What a magnificent cast of class actors/esses to appear in this film, and all done without the need for them to speak. Great stuff!
-
Eric Sykes and Arthur Lowe are perfect for this , I guess that's why I adore this one ..
-
Legendär! Ich habe den Film als Kind geliebt. Mein Vater hatte ihn immer wieder auf VHS gezeigt. Humor braucht keine Worte! Ein Meisterwerk
