Crude, vulgar comedy is irresistible and much funnier than it ought to be, thanks to a pitch-perfect performance by Crocker in the lead as the guilless Barry, and a brazen anti-P.C. attitude which I would imagine would have been bad taste in the 70s, let alone 35 years later. Humphries is also a lot of fun in an early incarnation of Edna, and Pleasence is amusing in a why-the-hell-is-he-here kind of way. *SPOILER* Climactic appearance of then Aussie PM Gough Whitlam also very clever.
