PLANK, THE (TV)
Summary
In this special comedy program, two builders discover that they are missing a floorboard, and as they travel across town and back with a new one, they cause confusion and mayhem. This program is entirely without dialogue and relies on sound effects and visual gags for its comic impact. Eric Sykes wrote, directed, and stars in this 1979 remake of one of the most memorable comedies of the sixties. (This program won the Press Jury Award at the 1980 Montreux Festival.)
