The Plank (1979)

Overview

Classic short British comedy, full of stars, about two workmen delivering planks to a building site. This is done with music and a sort of “wordless dialogue” which consists of a few mumbled sounds to convey the appropriate emotion. TV remake of the 1967 short.

Length 28 minutes
