Saturday Morning Film: Old Bones of the River

BBC One
on BBC One London

starring Will Hay with Moore Marriott
Graham Moffatt
An inspired 'African adventure', in which teacher
Benjamin Tibbetts , acting as the local commissioner, is called on to quell a native rising. Aided by Jerry and Albert, captain and mate of an antiquated steamer 'Tibbetts' comes to the rescue of the Europeans. This rarely-seen
British comedy classic proves to be vintage material and remains one of the most inspired films starring the incomparable trio.
