The Best of British - All At Sea
Three classic comedies with a distinctly nautical theme.
Up The Creek! (1958) is a screwball comedy starring David Tomlinson and Peter Sellers.
Bumbling navy officer Lieutenant Humphrey Fairweather (Tomlinson) is transferred to HMS Berkeley, an old World War II destroyer, to keep him out of harm's way. But together with Chief Petty Officer Doherty (Sellers), Fairweather gets into more trouble than might be thought possible, with events coming to a riotous conclusion when the admirality turn up for an inspection of the ship.
In the sequel, Further Up The Creek (1958), David Tomlinson returns as bumbling navy boffin Lieutenant Humphrey Fairweather. This time he is skipper of the ship Aristotle and, together with his second-in-command (Frankie Howerd), Fairweather wreaks havoc when he is ordered to deliver the Aristotle to its new owners in a mythical Middle-Eastern country.
Carry On Admiral (1957), while not part of the Carry On series, is cast in the same mould. A farce revolves around an imposter who takes command of a ship with disastrous results.
