The BBC's production was based on the play Rookery Nook, one of the Aldwych farces, by Ben Travers.[1]
First transmitted by the BBC on 19 September 1970, it was made in colour on videotape, but survives only as a monochrome telerecording.[2]
The BBC's film was revived in 1994 by the National Film Theatre, the UK's leading revival house.[3]
