The English abroad, especially the abroad of Costa Brava, and the machinations of PR men, are fair enough targets for comic treatment, but this dull and unimaginative enterprise manages to miss them unerringly with every well-worn gag – the cockney couple abroad who want steak and kidney or cod and chips with a cup of tea, the tourist's conviction that a few phrases make for fluency in a foreign language, the re-modelling of a pop group as glitter cowboys.

The lack of comic invention is as much evident in the direction: Diane's rather sedate dance on the table scarcely warrants an arrest, and in a (mercifully) speeded-up sequence, the airport coach stops several times for little Danny's convenience.

It is fortunate indeed that there are actors of the calibre of John Le Mesurier, Roy Kinnear et al on hand to inject some professional expertise into the tedium.
