Cuckoo Patrol is a 1967 British musical comedy film directed by Duncan Wood and starring Freddie Garrity, Victor Maddern, John Le Mesurier and Kenneth Connor.
They realise that a real crime is being committed after the bank-robbers threaten them with a gun, and bombard the crooks with tennis balls before the police arrive.
The film contains three songs: "The Cuckoo Patrol", "It Wasn't Me", and "Seems Like Things are Turning Out Fine Again", with music and lyrics by Frederick Garrity.
"[3] Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "A plotless and quite incredibly unfunny farce, with the further embarrassment of a team of grown men, Freddie and The Dreamers, impersonating moronic boy scouts.
"[4] The film's tag line, "Based on a story outline by Freddie and the Dreamers", was described by The Independent as "terrifying".
