"Boggle" (Sid James) and girlfriend "Fussey" (Joan Simms) decide to take a camping holiday with their best pals "Bernie" (Bernard Bresslaw) and "Anthea" (Dilys Laye). Now the boys reckon they have alighted on a nudist camp site, but sadly they got that wrong and after being fleeced by the owner (Peter Buttherworth) they embark on a series of escapades that introduce them to Kenneth Williams ("Dr. Soaper") reprising his doctor/matron relationship with Hattie Jacques and their bus-load of young nurses on a works holiday from their hospital. You can guess the rest as this innuendo-ridden slapstick extravaganza continues with incidents from just about every aspect of rural life packed in to varying degrees of comic effect. Though the punchlines are pretty clearly telegraphed, I found this to be one of the more natural and funnier outings for the gang. It's borderline farce a lot of the the time, and smutty as usual - but "Babs" (Barbara Windsor), "Peter" (Terry Scott) and his camping aficionado wife "Harriet" (Betty Marsden) all chip in a bit more substantially with the sub plots and that makes this a bit more entertaining. At the better end of the franchise, I'd say - and there's a goat!
