Identify This Film-Possibly Oliver Reed Film

[albie]

Do they even make TV shows like this for the older children? Whenever I stray into ccbtv whatever it's very simple and flashy animation. No dramas. No spooky stuff.

Hmmm. I did look at that but discounted it. But having another look on Wiki that does sound like it. I'll try and track it down. Thanks....

It looked like it was late 60s early 70s. British. A couple move into a house in the country. The house maybe haunted or cursed. They are menaced by a local gang of bikers. I'm sure the leader of the gang was Oliver Reed. I missed the end but my brother said Reed's character died in the film, crashing...

Is this a song? Maybe. He says it to music. In the opening credits to tv show HART TO HART Max is talking about his bosses and says "My name is Max, I take care of them, we're Chinesey."
Chinesey? I wondered what that meant for years.

It's actually "which ain't ea...

Take it back, Sapphire. Take back time....

Your soul doesn't work like mine, then! You may be a witch. Or From Barnsley....

Jodhpurs came into being in 1890 btw. So that narrows the search down assuming bawdy films from the 70s are that accurate....

COPILOT suggested CARRY ON DICK. It's the only one of them with horses but I did see an out of character pic of CARRY ON UP THE KHYBER with a man on a horse. There may be a polo game in that.

It seems unlikely that a woman cleaning a table would be wearing riding gear.

He was the best Adam Klaus in JONATHAN CREEK. very versatile.

It's funny what people need to be identified.

I'm thinking CARRY ON BEHIND. Maybe it's the bottom theme, though.

Edit. Just image searched carry on behind. No Jodhpurs. Wouldn't Carry on up the jungle be more apt? They all wear pith helmets in that...when they're taking...

He actually used to joke that at least his puppet fit the bill for the title of the show. They always have their one joke do these politicians....

Fat. Quiet. Shy. Ginger hair. Bad at sports. Ginger hair. Fat. Stupid. Silly surname. Fat. Ginger hair.

I saw a TV show with Cook and he mentioned that a psychic told him he was Dick Turpin in a previous life and him being put in the firing line with angry burger van owners was penance for his crimes as a highway man. Chortle. I hope it's true and he's paid his debt to society. Seeya later, Cookie bo...

Italian is what I had in mind. Some of those Fulci films and giallo have funky beats. Years of watching Eurovision Song Contest has pierced my consciousness with how odd Non British music is. There's something genetic about music. LOL....

[albie]

Yep. I recall acting out the scene with my Star Wars figures right after. Trauma therapy. Very useful those figures. I wish I could recall all the stories I made up with them. Probably worse than internet fan fiction....

That's what I think. It's got dodgy VHS tape trailer written all over it. Foreign, i would say. Too weird to be American or British. Thing is I haven't written a song even remotely like it since or before. So I'm thinking it's flopped out of my VHS brain engrams. My mum would let us see anything when...

There are people who believe that we betray truths about ourselves if you reverse your speech. I reversed my own name once and it said quite clearly "A WALLY AND A GENTLEMAN." Tried it again years later...just nonsense.

Wally and a gentleman sums me up.

When I first became passionate about music in the 90s every song on an album was good. Now you get one good song per album. Mind, Dinosaur Jnr? One good song in their entire career. But nobody would class them with REM.
