Jeez I haven't laughed so much in ages, Jack Smethurst and Rudolph Walker are brilliant as the two warring neighbours Eddie and Bill. Eddie looks terrified at meeting the neighbour that the look he gives it's like he just met Satan. I don't think I have heard the words "nig nog or sambo" being said so many times and white honky, there are times you see the actors breaking character and trying to hide their smiles and sniggers.
