The Monday Film: Up the Chastity Belt

BBC One
on BBC One London

starring Frankie Howerd
Graham Crowden , Bill Fraser
Having been kidnapped at birth, the high-born Lurkalot has spent his life as a lowly serf. But his natural cunning eventually earns him his rightful place on a throne. Comedian Frankie Howerd revels in the central role in this bawdy story of the Middle Ages, where the ' wenches ' are chased rather than chaste and the knights are dastardly rather than noble.
Screenplay by SID COLIN , RAY GALTON and ALAN SIMPSON
Produced by NED SHERRIN
Directed by BOB KELLIETT. Films: page 25 (First showing on British television)
