A new season of Britain's great laughter-makers.

[Starring] David Tomlinson, Peter Sellers
with Wilfrid Hyde White

Up the Creek launches a new season for British Film Comedies, following the same pattern as the season which began last December.
Lt. Humphrey Fairweather, R.N., has gone too far. Much too far. The last of a series of disastrous attempts to prove to the Navy that his rocket invention is better than theirs only succeeds in convincing them that no guided missile station will be safe until he is out of harm's way.
His superior's problem is unexpectedly solved with the discovery that H.M.S. Berkeley, an ancient destroyer, now ending her days as the oldest member of the 'Mothball Fleet', has been inadvertently left without a commanding officer for nearly two years. By appointing Fairweather as her new Commanding Officer they will kill two birds with one stone...
Val Guest directs with his customary pace, and the script bears more than a passing resemblance to that masterpiece of the 1930s Oh! Mr. Porter, the Will Hay classic recently shown on BBC-1, but the transposition to a naval background rings a great many changes on the theme.
