Please Sir !! Great series...and surprisingly good film as mostly the TV series that went to film were pretty dire. I had the pleasure of many lunchtime drinks with Peter Denyer ( he played Dennis ) when he was in panto in Blackpool. Sadly passed away now but a gentleman and very nice guy.

Surprisingly how many did pass away from the programme

How about Nearest and Dearest Eli and Nelly Pledge the pickle factory

TV Cream used to have a good feature on films based on sitcoms.

In the mid 1970s some ITV shows had a film spin off even when the original series wasn't super popular or long running.

By the 1980s it had almost died out, but in the last 20 years we have had a few films based on sitcoms or even comedy sketches.
