Carry on Laughing!

The Case of the Coughing Parrot (Season 2, Episode 5)

TV Episode | Comedy, Crime, History

A spoof on Dorothy L. Sayers' mysteries about Lord Peter Wimsey and his valet Bunter. Of course, here they're renamed Flimsy and Punter. Poking fun at Brit class distinctions. Joan Sims was so versatile an actress, she steals the episodes.
