Snavely (1978)
Better than I expected
Inspired by the other review on here I decided to give this a go, and tho it doesn't reach the heights of the original, it made me laugh. Since this was a pilot episode I can only imagine that it would have gotten better. The guy playing the new Basil was good without being a carbon copy of John Cleese, but Betty White could perhaps have drawn on Prunella Scales a bit more as she lacks a bit of character here.
Ooh La La!: Keep an Eye on Amélie (1973)
Incredibly bad.
This is a very over the top, badly acted, overly theatrical production. No moment is spared the hammy excess of the cast, but special mention goes to Patrick Cargill who gives new meaning to the term 'awful actor'. The plot, if you can be bothered, has Cargill's character having to pretend to marry Judi Dench's character in order to receive money from his godfather. Billed as a comedy, this may be worth a watch if you find the word joke mispronounced as yoke amusing.
