SIR HENRY AT RAWLINSON END (1980)

STEVE ROBERTS

Plot

Sir Henry's disgusting ancestral home has spawned an industry; a Radio 4 sketch, Peel-show episodes, Bonzo track, complete album, stage readings, his motto is 'Omnes Blotto', his home is Knebworth, outside a dusty heap of rotten food and excrement and empty bottles within. A superb spoof, with Howard as the sad figure of Sir Henry showing the camera crew around his dilapidated and decrepit stately home. Based on Viv 'Doodah Dog Band' Stanshall's poem/song and beautifull filmed in monochrome, it's a great example of off beat comedy. Brilliant.
